Absent running FF as root, that would be expected behavior.
I did see that the directory's privileges required root for writing, but wanted to be certain that this was the only reason for the refusal, because of what seemed an unclear wording of the error message, so I asked, in the interest of clarity -- "better to be safe than sorry". My solution last
Without knowing you were trying to save with FF, it wasn't possible to be certain why you got the message you got. What I wrote was:
I need to ask a question here, to ensure that I not screw the operation up. I have visited the above URL and see that it returns a few lines resembling the content of other files in the target directory. Trying to save it to that directory, however, gets this response: ***** "Visited the URL" implied to me "browser". "Save", in the context of "browser", seemed clear to me to mean "saving from the browser". I can see that I might have written more explicitly.
night (wee hours), which seemed simple enough, was to save the file instead to the Desktop, and then, as root, to move it in a terminal to the target directory.
Saving somewhere other than the ultimate destination, then moving or copying it is usually prudent. That procedure provides some insurance against against overwriting a file for which you have no ready or any backup, and might dearly wish you had.
That is why I do not generally move files, but first copy the original, then delete the original instead.
As I understand from a previous message from you, the presence of this new file makes it possible for YaST to see newer versions of Xorg; searching in YaST for "graphics", or "xorg", or "intel", I do not notice
Without adding that repo, YaST Software immediately after an installation was completed but before any updates were applied would show: xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-52.4.x86_64.rpm currently installed, which from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/ you can see was built in February. It would also show xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-53.56.1.x86_64.rpm as the newer available version you probably have now which http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/rpm/x86_64/ shows was built in April. Compare those to the obviously very much newer xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-229.1.x86_64.rpm from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4/x86_64/ that you'd get now by adding the new repo and updating, and you should see a pretty substantial likelihood that time's been ample to incorporate Sandy Bridge support, even if it hadn't been mentioned elsewhere in the thread that that is indeed the case.
The current driver is now 7.6-53.58.1. I'll update to it now (although I'm not sure this is a necessary step), then add the new repo, and post what happened.
The new repo is installed. YaST shows these two new packages: xorg-x11-driver-video-debuginfo v7.6.29.1 (also for 32bit) xorg-x11-driver-video-debugsource v7.6.29.1
I assume I am to compile the source file, probably using the info file. Where will I find information on how to do this?
I've found this page on a blog site: http://lslezak.blogspot.com/2011/04/installing-latest-intel-graphics-driver..... It is a discussion of installation of the graphics on the i5 CPU, so the same hardware I have here. His procedure seems, just at first blush, to be different from that in this thread.
