no permission to edit file?

Question

I'm trying to disable Vsync on my BARTS radeon card (source game stuck at 60 fps)

I was directed to the file /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf to add Option "SwapBuffersWait" "false" I'm finding I have no permission to edit the file? What gives?

Any responses / wishes for luck appreciated. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Open the terminal and write sudo nautilus , after that you can open any file and edit with root rights. — Ege Sucu, Mar 06 '17 at 14:19

You will need root privileges to edit this file. Open it with sudo.

sudo nano /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf

now you can add option

SwapBuffersWait false

Save and close the file.
