Hi all,
For some time I had a working Ubuntu breezy install on a machine with
with an ATI Radeon X300 SE, with the Ubuntu fglrx driver.
I recently tried to get direct rendering running and when that failed
to work with the Ubunutu version of the package I decided to try the
ATI binary driver as described at the bottom of this page:
https://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
That still didin't get direct rendering going so I decided to revert
to the Ubuntu driver.
Unfortunately, the ATI deb package (which has the same name as the
Ubuntu package grrrr) is borked and won't remove itself:
> sudo dpkg --purge xorg-driver-fglrx
(Reading database ... 122156 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing xorg-driver-fglrx ...
dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to
when removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to
/usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2 by xorg-driver-fglrx'
found `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to
/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx'
dpkg: error processing xorg-driver-fglrx (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
xorg-driver-fglrx
Anyone know how I can fix this and get the back to the Ubuntu version?
Then, from there, how do I get direct rendering going?
TIA,
Erik
