You don’t actually have a trailing slash on your xorg.conf file path,
right? The command from Ubuntu should work just fine as it’s all Linux
(assuming sudo is setup properly, which it usually is out of the box).
On my SLED 10 SP2 box the following works:
sux -
<enter root password as prompted>
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<manipulate, save, etc.>
exit #get back to normal user privileges
sudo didn’t work the first time, presumably because I didn’t export my
display properly. That, too, should be easy enough to work around.
Perhaps try gnomesu instead (gnomesu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
Good luck.
