Hi All,I've used the sgfxi script and it supports removing non-free drivers and installing free ones instead.
http://smxi.org/site/about.htm#sgfxi What is sgfxi (simple graphics installer - s gfx i)The primary purpose of sgfxi is to install non-free graphics drivers. It also supports removing non-free graphics drivers and replacing them with the free version. To do this it cleans out the system of any previous drivers, then installs the latest versions of the driver you have requested.
