   A couple of things:   
      
   1) You want to be working on xorg.conf, not xorg.config.   
      
   2) It should be read-only; it is a system file. You can edit it using sudo:   
   from a terminal, try:   
      
   sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   
      
   But I strongly, strongly recommend that you first do:   
      
           cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/   
      
   That will create a backup copy of xorg.conf in your home directory. It is   
   very common to destroy an xorg.conf the first few times that you try to   
   edit it. Having a backup copy of the original is strongly recommended.
