How can I uninstall Graphics driver?

8,734

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.

    Is my ATI graphics card supported in Ubuntu?

    I want to un-install Graphics driver but I do not know how. I downloaded AMD Catalystâ„¢ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver .run file from support.AMD.com and installed it manually.

    Now, I can't find how to un-install it

    *edit1

    i enter "sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh" in terminal and in next line it asks me for password. and i can't type, everything i type don't appear in terminal

    *edit2

    turns out that password can be typed in but cursor is not moving as you type it and that fooled me.

      Hey @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.

    is it possible to find usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh manually and uninstall it that way?

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