Hi tambun,

in this case it is very easy. Although I made a full image of my /
partition, jsut in case,  it turned out that I simply needed to restore
my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to it's original state.

So it may be working like this:
1. become root
2. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.radeon.working.ok

Then install whatever ATI driver you think might be promising.
If you are "rewarded" with a blank X screen and nothing working at all,
like I was:

1. ctl-F1 to the first console, if that does not work: alt-ctrl-F1
2. login as root
3. init 3 to change back to textmode
4. go to the X11 directory: cd /etc/X11
5. copy your backup file back: cp xorg.conf.radeon.working.ok xorg.conf
6. init 5 to change back to graphical X login

Then you should be done with in fact reverting to where you started
from. Not nice, not rewarding but at lest, I could continue to do my work.

Btw.
In the meantime, I got an Nvidia 7600 GS AGP silent card for a song (in
exchange to some Linux help that I did for a friend) and I cannot wait
to implement it tomorrow.

Saying bye, bye to ATI will be a day that I will surely celebrate. ;-))

Kind regards
Eberhard
