Is my ATI graphics card supported in Ubuntu?

I want to un-install Graphics driver but I do not know how. I downloaded AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver .run file from support.AMD.com and installed it manually.

Now, I can't find how to un-install it

*edit1

i enter "sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh" in terminal and in next line it asks me for password. and i can't type, everything i type don't appear in terminal

*edit2

turns out that password can be typed in but cursor is not moving as you type it and that fooled me.

  • Hey @ubi, I have linked the instructions to remove and revert to the open source driver, they should work the same, if those dont work please flag this to a moderator to re open it. – Bruno Pereira Mar 02 '12 at 18:17

IF you installed using the script, you will have the file fglrx-uninstall.sh for uninstalling the ATI drivers.

To do that, run "sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh" in a terminal.

When done, run "fglrxinfo" from a terminal and it should say it's not installed.

  • edit your question to include the results – Ringtail Mar 02 '12 at 17:32
  • once a command is given in terminal, you need to wait until it returns again with the prompt or you killed the process during which time it didn't complete. You are not able to TYPE again in the terminal while it is working. TRY IT AGAIN, this time wait a little while before doing anything else. Have some patience. – Ringtail Mar 02 '12 at 17:35
  • oh ok i'll report back – ubi Mar 02 '12 at 17:36
  • this time i waited 5-6 minutes and tried to type in password but still, i can't type in terminal – ubi Mar 02 '12 at 17:50
  • is it possible to find usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh manually and uninstall it that way? – ubi Mar 02 '12 at 17:58
  • Does it beep or just not display anything at the password prompt? Usually, your password won't be displayed when you enter it. – Lakritsbollar Mar 02 '12 at 18:00
  • suggest another approach,did you look at the AMD web site for directions – Ringtail Mar 02 '12 at 18:00
  • i managed to uninstall it using terminal, turns out that password can be typed in but cursor is not moving as you type it and that fooled me, thank you very much. – ubi Mar 02 '12 at 18:29
  • good. take care – Ringtail Mar 02 '12 at 18:37
  • @ubi Yeah, when you type sudo you need to enter the root password, this will not be shown – iConnor Oct 03 '13 at 01:40
