[Bug 1029898] Re: Unable to remove fglrx AMD driver properly using apt

[Christopher Forster]

Thanks for your response. If a user chooses to download a third party
driver: I see no reason why Ubuntu cannot restore back to the default
driver if possible, if he or she is uninstalling fglrx (third party
driver) using apt. To some extent I agree this is part the AMD Graphics
(third party) Driver's fault. I would encourage a user to install the
latest graphics driver if they were into gaming, which could result in
performance gains. This driver would be more up to date than what would
be found in the Ubuntu repositories.

Title:
  Unable to remove fglrx AMD driver properly using apt

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi, I read on Ubuntu Forums that someone uninstalled the fglrx AMD
  driver using apt & could not get to the login screen (didn't load).

  The best way is using AMD's own uninstaller:
  sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

  Uninstalling by apt should restore to the standard driver properly,
  which in this case didn't happen.
