How can I uninstall Graphics driver?
IF you installed using the script, you will have the file fglrx-uninstall.sh for uninstalling the ATI drivers.
To do that, run "sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh" in a terminal.
When done, run "fglrxinfo" from a terminal and it should say it's not installed.

Bruno Pereira over 12 yearsHey @ubi, I have linked the instructions to remove and revert to the open source driver, they should work the same, if those dont work please flag this to a moderator to re open it.

DLev over 12 yearsDoes it beep or just not display anything at the password prompt? Usually, your password won't be displayed when you enter it.
