[SOLVED] How to remove ATI control

[adredz]

Pls don't kill me, I just couldn't figure it out myself.
I installed ATI control but it's obsolete as I tried it. I want to remove it through add/remove but I couldn't find it after I queried in the search field.

Re: How to remove ATI control

What was the package name you installed, and how did you install it?

[adredz]

Re: How to remove ATI control

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

sudo apt-get install fglrx-control


those were the two commands i used to install it...and by the way how would i know if my graphics card is fully enabled?

Re: How to remove ATI control

You can type:

sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control

But, I would recommend simulating the removal first, so you know what will be removed - there may be packages that the action would remove too, that you really don't want removed. To simulate the action, type:

sudo apt-get remove --simulate xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control

Re: How to remove ATI control

As Snowhog told: you can remove fglrx-control panel with apt-get remove. More:
apt-get --help, man apt-get, APT HOWTO .

and by the way how would i know if my graphics card is fully enabled?

In the konsole:

fglrxinfo

It should tell something like:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI RADEON 9600 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7281 Release

Re: How to remove ATI control

You say it was outdated, is there a newer one? I'm wondering if it would be ok for my older ati 9600xt agp.
