Gaining access to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for modifications

[Guest]

Some guidance, please, since kubuntu does not install with a root password.
Problem I'm trying to correct is getting to 1024x768 resolution from 640x480.
Seems simple in other distros.
Thanks for help,

Bill

Gaining access to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for modifications

One way to do this:

Press Alt + F2, type kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

or

Konqueror / Dolphin: goto /etc/X11/ and right click xorg.conf > Actions > Edit as Root

since kubuntu does not install with a root password.

Maybe this helps: FAQ: Root Password
