Re: 11.10 Gnome Shell doesn't work properly
I think I've narrowed it down that a reinstall of the drivers isn't necessary. It looks like the reinstall is simply calling update-alternatives and fixing a bad link.
Output when broken:
x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf manual /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf
Output when working:
x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf auto /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf
It looks like all you should have to do is:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
sudo update-alternatives --auto x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
Then reboot. On 32-bit, you might have to use i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf, I don't know. I used debfoster to really get rid of all of fglrx's deps beyond the remove/purge so YMMV.
