Help with graphical part!

[mhornet18]

I read that you CAN view YDL on a normal tv, so I downloaded the Xautoconfig and still cannot figure it out. It says it'll write a file and then edit another one called /etc/inittab. And when I do type it in, it says Permission Denied. Here's a link to a screen shot I took showing what it says. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it. Thanks. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a12/mhornet18/DSC00065.jpg

Your problem is you are not trying to EDIT that file, you are trying to EXECUTE it. Since its a settings file, and not a program, bash is yelling at you.

To edit it, you need to open it with a program, such as

nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[F-Man]

vim /etc/inittab or editdiff /etc/inittab work too. Once you're in the editor, you can move around with a cursor, and press i to start editing, Esc to stop editing, and type :wq or :exit to close the file.

Don't forget to:

man nano

or while within nano use ^G (Ctrl G) to see its built in help

or

man vim

or run vimtutor

for more information on how to use them.

While its possible to view any Linux, including YDL, an a normal television, it's not a very nice experience. It's like trying to ride a motorbike at high speed inside a small closet.
