To begin with - I've searched other questions with no luck.

So: I've got a 12.10 and trying to set ATI drivers using this tutorial.

After installing and rebooting I've got a blank desktop and used this:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx*

to get back, but nothing happened! I'm stuck with this empty desktop.

What can I do to get back to open source drivers?

lspci -vvnn | grep VGA tells me that I have Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 series card.

I'd try the AMD web site direct.

Every time they update the Kernel you have to re install the drivers. It's a pain. But running their drivers means you simply run their package and its pretty much one step process.
