Hey guys, when I typed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf it said bash: /etc/X11/xorg.conf permission denied or something like that. i typed in su then my root password then did it and it still said permission denied. i don't really know what im doing though. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and i selected vesa for my drive. i didn't really know what to put for everything else so for the thing that i had to type stuff in i left what was in there and just hit enter or left it blank and hit enter. i tried it with the framebuffer thing and without (i don't know what that is), but both times i typed startx my monitor showed the message it says when i turn my comp off (something about power saving enabled.. monitor will shut down soon. something along those lines.) i just restart my comp and go into single user mode (don't know what made me do that) then i do the same command and switch back to nv driver. back to where i started... as for booting in single user mode... i do that, but what do i do next? how does booting without x get my desktop running? how do i add -s to the kernel command line? what does that do?
