The system has an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 video card. xserver-org choosed for it the ati driver with the radeon module during the installing. Since I am having problems regarding the gui, I would like to give fglrx-driver a try, since it also supports my video card. I would like to know, just in case I change my mind and decide to go back to the xorg driver, how do that with the driver from the fglrx package installed? thanks in advance Marcelo
For that graphics card, the open source driver should work quite well, are you sure it does not have to do with any settings in xorg.conf?
Simply change the driver section of xorg.conf back to ati, either manually using your favourite editor, or using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Restart X.
I have the feeling that, at least in the past, the installation of the propietary driver used to leave some broken simlinks somewhere, although that might have got fixed...HTH Wackojacko
