How to uninstall ati driver

[mafc]

Hi,

I have a Fedora 10 - 32bit with an Ati 9200. I have installed the new drivers of ati ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run (now I know that this driver only works with ati >9250) and the X aren't works fine. If I run startx i get an error and the X server isn't start. The only way to run the X is execute the fglrx-config-display disable command. When I run this command the X works but the compiz doen't works.

I want to uninstall the driver and put the system how is it before I installed the driver. Can anyone to help me?

Thanks

Uninstalling the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver
          Uninstalling the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver is dependent on the mode of the
          initial installation.
Automatic or Custom Driver Installations
          If the ATI Proprietary Linux 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 superuser permissions, enter the command "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh"
          You have now successfully uninstalled the ATI Linux Proprietary Driver.

I have executed the fglrx-uninstall.sh and I have the same problems. If I want to run the X I have to execute the fglrx-config-display disable. This is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Try this , you still have the old config file

su
rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf
reboot

After uninstall with fglrx-uninstall all works fine but only if I run fglrx-config-display disable before startx.

After that, I have dropped the xorg.conf but the problem still continue.
