Hello Listmates.
Is the uninstaller script available in ati-driver-installer-11-1-x86.x86_64.run package?
Because I can not find it: rpm -ql fglrx64_7_5_0_SUSE113-8.812-1 | grep fglrx-uninstall.sh
So I think it is safe to remove the proprietary driver only by running through rpm command, right? rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)
If so, we should update the tutorial describe in the wiki*. We should not necessarily "run any uninstall scripts that ATI provides" anymore, we just can remove it (safely) through: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx) , and the user will happier for that sorter steps required.. =)
Thanks in advance.

iianm, that is not an rpm package rather a compressed executable which, if it has the save options as the NVIDIA ones will answer to: ati-driver-installer-11-1-x86.x86_64.run -help and perhaps ati-driver-installer-11-1-x86.x86_64.run --uninstall

IIRC (used to use this but have Nvidia card now) there were two ways to install this. One was a generic non distro specific script-based install which would provide the uninstall.sh. The other was to generate a distribution specific package. This was always the route I chose because it was trivial to remove via Yast or rpm, just as if it were any other package.
If you chose the latter, then it can be removed either via Yast or RPM.

Best regards,
This package is unofficial so don't mix it with official one info on wiki. If You install fglrx driver from *.run installer, use 'fglrx-uninstall.sh' script to uninstall. But if You installed driver from unofficial package from http://linux.ioda.net/mirror/ati/ then the only proper way to remove it is uninstallig package. This can be done via YaST, zypper or directly rpm.
