How to uninstall all fglrx and install xorg

[gaalaaant]

unninstall all fglrx and install the free drivers. xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon was the advice I got somewhere else. How do I do that?

Just use the restricted drivers manager (under system, administration) and deselect the Restricted ATI driver (FGLRX.)

Please list what version of Ubuntu you are running if this does not work.

I am running Jaunty off of an upgrade from Intrepid. Gfx were fin in intrepid. Will post later if it worked ( at work now )

Yeah I used the "Hardware Drivers" thing under administration and it told me that I have no proprietary drivers on my machine.

I don't have X running. It won't run. Activating ATI drivers under hardware manager broke it. Now I need to get rid of fglrx from shell

to do that i did

sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx

It worked, but I still have no desktop.
How do I completely remove this broken driver?
what other command do i need to issue?
If there is no other command, how do i initialize the open source driver? is there a command for that?

Try running:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

You'll then need to restart the X server (or GDM.)
