Is there an effective way to clean up all the ati/fglrx drivers from my system?
I've been trying various ways to get the ati fglrx driver installed but nothing has worked. The different ways were a combination of using the .run file (graphical installer) and also making the packages.
In the mean time, I'm using the open source radeonhd driver. It's slow but at least it works.
1) remove the packages with fglrx in the name with synaptic.
2) run the following commands to clean up the /usr/src directory...
rm -r /usr/src/fglrx*
rm -r /usr/src/modules/fglrx
3) This last step is if your wanting to fully remove fglrx and restore the original system config files for the most part...
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx*
i won't go in how to remove the other configuration changes, but this will prevent the fglrx driver from loading, and all that will be left now is to remove it from the modules white-list, and to remove it from the compiz fusion white-list also.
