Ok, you say "Paste the following into 'The' file. I don't know what you mean. What file? No file pops up after typing the stuff into the console. :/
Oh, the second line, "sudo gedit 10-monitor.conf" should open the Gedit text editor. If not try "sudo nano 10-monitor.conf", "sudo vi 10-monitor.conf" or "sudo cat 10-monitor.conf"
