Editing XF86Config

[lurxh]

How do I edit XF86Config manually? I tried it using the GUI but I didn't have rights, so how do I do it in Terminal? I've gotten as far as logging in as the root and cd'ing to the directory. BTW I have Redhat 8.0

You have to edit it while logged on as the 'root' user. Or you can log on as the root user on another terminal ctrl-alt-Fx (1-6). And from there go to the etc/X11 directory (Like Windows, cd /etc/X11)

The edit it using vi.

vi XF86Config

press 'INS' to insert

then press 'ESC'

wq <enter/return> to exit and write the changes.

Or if you are already in X use the File Manager - Super user Mode to edit it using the GUI. (You must enter the SU password to use it)
