did you make rpm's from the ati installer?

Uninstalling the ATI Linux Proprietary Graphics Driver

Un-installing the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver is dependent on the mode of initial installation.
Automatic or Custom Driver Installations

If the ATI Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver was installed using either the Automatic or Custom options, then do the following:

1. Launch the Terminal Application/Window and navigate to the /usr/share/ati folder.
2. With super user permissions, enter the command "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh"

You have now successfully uninstalled the ATI Linux Proprietary Graphics Driver.
Package Generation

If the initial installation of the driver was done via the Operating Systems package management software (rpm, apt, etc.) then please use that package management software to remove the ATI Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver.


If you made rpm's

su -
pirut

do a search for ati and fglrx and remove the lot.

or if you just run the ati installer

su -
cd /usr/share/ati
sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
