Ubuntu 10.04 Up-to-Date (Kernel 2.6.32-41)
Help if able.
How do I uninstall AMD CCC 11.12 (AMD Display Driver ver 8.92);
so
I can install the soon to be released AMD CCC 12.7 Video Driver Package ?
Please confirm - Do I need to uninstall the current video driver before installing an upgraded one in place of it;
or
can I install directly over-top (overwriting) the old driver ??
Note: My Windows experience would suggest that an uninstall (before reinstall) is Necessary !
My current AMD Display Driver was installed by directly downloading it from:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
to the Desktop and executing the Install routine (No Package Manager and No Terminal Command Lines were used). This was done following a Hardware Upgrade to the XFX Radeon HD 6870 2GB Video Card.
I have read all the Tech-Know-How of uninstalling the AMD proprietary "fglrx";
but
I am NOT using fgrlx !
So again, how do I (if necessary) uninstall AMD CCC 11.12 (AMD Display Driver ver 8.92) ?
Many Thanks in Advance !

Johnny M!
