Uninstalling the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver

Uninstalling the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver is dependent on the mode of the 
initial installation.

Automatic or Custom Driver Installations

If the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver was installed using either the Automatic or 
Custom options, then do the following:

1

Launch the Terminal Application/Window and navigate to the /usr/share/ati 
folder

2

With superuser permissions, enter the command "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh"

You have now successfully uninstalled the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver.

Package Generation

If the initial installation of the driver was done via the Operating Systems package 
management software (RPM, APT, etc.) then please use that package management 
software to remove the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver.

Install Driver Option

The Install Driver option provides two driver installation options. The Automatic 
option installs all driver components, and the Custom option allows for the selec-
tion of driver components to be installed.

Automatic Driver Installation Option

Note:

In order to use the fglrx internal AGP support, you have to make 

sure that the kernel agpgart support is not active (i.e. it is not compiled 
into the kernel and the kernel modules are not loaded). If the fglrx kernel 
module detects that the kernel agpgart support is active, it will automati-
cally use that even if its internal AGP support is requested in order to 
avoid conflicts that can cause problems under some circumstances.
