Public bug reported: Fglrx installer overwrites mesa and xserer files causing prombles with open source drivers even after removal.
Solution would be install fglrx and open drivers to own subdirectories. Loading would either happen using symbolic links or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ configuration. Also kernel modules should be blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/ when switching between drivers. I strongly suggest this for 10.04 release to make it easier to select between drivers for users. ** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Fglrx installer overwrites OSS driver files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
