Disable ATI Proprietary drivers by command line?

  • 772

I've made the mistake of installing the ATI proprietary driver by command line.

Steps i took:

  1. Downloaded linux drivers
  2. Opened the terminal
  3. sh amd..driver.run
  4. Followed the steps
  5. Rebooted

This has caused my screen to not even load after a fresh install of 11.10 Is there a way to remove of disable these proprietary drivers by command line?

11.10

    1. Boot into recovery mode
    2. Remount read/write

    3. Enter root shell

    4. Go to the location where you downloaded the installer then: ./ati* --uninstall

    5. Reboot:)

    But, you can also get the drivers working by following the steps above, then follow steps 1 to 3 again and replace step 4 with: ./ati* --install.

    Then type: aticonfig --initial

    Then reboot.

    This is how I got the latest drivers from ati working.
