I am running openSolaris and trying to learn to use linux presently
the screen resolution is limited to 1024x800 I came across this post which showed me how to go about increasing it.
*blogs.sun.com/paulkasper/entry/customizing_opensolaris_screen_resolution_running
it asks me to edit the xorg.conf file.
well when I try to do this I am prompted with an error complaining I do not have the permission to edit such files
so how do I go about it.
I tried the su root command and then tried to edit the file then even it displayed the same error.
I came across this in the solaris documentation which enables me to login as root, in their words "makes root a user account rather than behaviour"
*dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/login.html
but I would not like to try this untill and unless I have a method of reverting it back...
and I am not sure whether I will be able to edit the file even after logging in as root.
one last query
As I am running linux in virtualBox on XP I wanted to share some folders
google reached me here after the search and now I am not able to go ahed...
*blogs.sun.com/tao/entry/virtual_box_shared_folder_between
I mean this method not quite worked for me...
It took me 2 hours first of all that for using sudo I had to firstly issue command "su root"
so you can well imagine how pathetic I am with linux presently... help me out guys...
