[opensuse] fglrx-uninstall.sh script in ATI/AMD Driver installer 11.1
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. *) http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Radeon#Remove_the_proprietary_driver Best regards, -- Andi Sugandi.

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 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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'

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. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member
