Default Re: Queries regarding Ubuntu 8.10

Well I found the file but dunno how to run it as it is not running by that method, may be coz I've apt-get updating in background. Anyways check the screeny for the files I found and tell me how to change their permissions as simple chmod isn't working and moreover tell me how to run 'em?

OK, This is my second post and sorry for being a dumbfcuk, but managed to find the aticonfig file and read its options but when I tried to run it and this happened:
Code:
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:~$ cd /usr/bin
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:/usr/bin$ aticonfig --list-adapters
* 0. 01:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

* - Default adapter
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:/usr/bin$ aticonfig --initial
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-0
aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:/usr/bin$ aticonfig --initial -f
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-0
aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:/usr/bin$ aticonfig --resolution=1360x768
No layout section was found in the file: '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
Please run 'aticonfig --initial' first or modify your configurationfile manually and run aticonfig again.
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:/usr/bin$
Now what to do?

This is my xorg.conf file Since aticonfig command isn't working, what can I change here?
Code:
rudra@rudra-testubuntu:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"

EndSection
Under Accessories, I'm getting ATI CCC but it doesn't runs and gives following error message:

What to do?

I installed the GPU drivers again through the instructions given ath their Wiki. Now my xorg.conf looks like this:
Code:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously

# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated

#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Tell me what fields to change as again now I'm getting no signal error after booting.

Can anyone help me out on this matter? Where have all the brothers gone?
