Configure Graphics on Ubuntu
In most Ubuntu documentation, if you want to fix your screen resolution or configure your graphics card, you have to either manually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with a text editor or use the old-school-looking ncurses wizard after typing the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Both of those methods work just fine, but many newcomers to Ubuntu are intimidated by the command-line (or even ncurses wizards) and would prefer a full GUI (graphical user interface) for configuring graphics and screen resolution capabilities.
That's what this tutorial is about.
Once you're at the page, click on Download xorg-edit to go to the download page.
If, for some reason, even that doesn't work, you can install it by pasting these commands in the terminal: cd ~/Desktop sudo dpkg -i xorg-edit*.deb If you had to do the terminal workaround, then skip the next four screenshots.
If you have more to contribute about the features of xorg-edit, please leave a comment on the UbuntuCat blog.
