I've just run sudo lshw -html on a machine and a couple of thing popped up in red - one of which was the graphics chip which mostly works all right but one or two thing produce windows with graph paper or black
Anyone know how to dig deeper into this?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the red may be due to problems with the display driver. I found out how to fix it (in theory) but I've now come across a problem where I cant save Xorg.conf even as sudo!
The only situation I have ever encountered where root can't change a file is it if has been chattr'd. Chattr controls the immutable flag for a file.
