Re: Installed ATI driver removal after Xorg update
Hi, Thanks Joe, but I have chosen Frank's method - and I solved the problem. I would like to share my experiences - here you go what's happened: After a few months I use ATi's proprietary driver, because I need to render/cut with pitivi, and other video tools. The last driver 10.12 for HD cards seems works pretty well, and after I have received this last update - lost my output. I thought that I have at least 2 options to what to do. One: Reverting the update Two: Removing the ATi driver... and maybe an third, but I wasn't sure that works: reinstalling with the complete ATi .run package witch *maybe* corrects the settings, and I receive my screen. But one thing has blocked me - that I didn't know how to get CLI to maybe restore / remove / install from my backups from one of my folders/HDD's (that was an another experience when I used Fedora without backups). I have chosen Frank's method, to access my files - and after I have received the root prompt - I thought that I give one try to the official ATi driver, what can I loose.? For my biggest surprise the driver extracted itself to an temp folder, and started itself - What the heck? ATi DRIVER RUNS IN CLI MODE!? Accepted the license, and reinstalled with recommended mode. One minute later after the driver asked for restart, and I did that. The following reboot has resulted that my problem is solved - and I have GUI again!

From the logon screen (which should work as X isn't running at that point) use Crtl-Alt-F2 to get to an alternate console and a text login. Here you can log in as root if you want and use yum to downgrade the package or do whatever other maintenance you need. On my Fedora box, Ctrl-Alt-F7 brings you back to the GUI and, if the downgrade was all you needed, you should (should being the operative word here) be able to log in again. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Installed ATI driver removal after Xorg update
Hi, I have installed the original factory driver from ATi, what is worked until I have received the Xorg update. This bugfix update has broken the output (only receive an black screen), and I would like to restore the original screen. Please suggest somekind of solution - what are the possibilities when I would like to fix my system, and don't want to reinstall completely? What do you prefer - how can I revert the update, or remove the ATi driver?
