I need to rollback/uninstall an ATI graphics driver on Ubuntu, and can only access safe mode.?

October 6th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I accidentally installed the wrong driver for an old ATI card using Envy, and now can’t boot normally without the computer displaying a very, very strange screen and freezing up. I can boot into safe mode, and have access to the root terminal with/without networking… how can i uninstall the driver and just use the open-source driver included on the card itself? (I literally just plugged the card in, booted it up, and it worked fine).
Agreed… I’ve never been a huget ATI fan, but when the on-board vga port on this thing died, i resorted to an old ati card (PCI) i had lying around. The computer is old, and more of a project than an important workstation.

By the way, ATI is the worst for linux support. Envy broke mine too, that’s how I found that guide. I STILL can’t get Google earth to run on my stupid ATI card.
