Public bug reported:
Since focal a casual unprivileged user cannot save the current X Server
Display Configuration, no matter which location is used. I.e. even for
e.g. /tmp/xorg.conf or /home/$LOGNAME/xorg.conf the user gets asked for
the root password.
This really stupid '"AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.screen-resolution-
extra.root-display" "Authenticating as: root"' bug needs to be fixed. An
unprivileged user should be able to store the config wherever he wants
to, as long as he has write permission for the related file/directory.
