Restart problem after installing graphical card driver
- by Tim
My laptop is Lenovo T400, running Ubuntu 10.10.
My problem: I just run jockey-gtk and installed ATI/AMD
proprietary FGLRX graphics driver.
But after reboot, there is a short
period of graphical "Ubuntu" and
then instead of starting X-window it completely changed to
command line to ask me to login.
Even after login and then issuing
xinit, it still failed to start X.
To solve this problem: I followed this post, where one
person suggested to
you can simply write
sudo apt-get remove fglrx
This worked for me. If it doesn't
work, then try
sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
and restart.
I actually don't need the driver anyway, so I issued the first command after
login under command line.
But after
reboot, the situation is even worse, and there is now even no
command-line interface to ask me
login, instead the screen is completely blank with just some
ambient light in the background and
Ubuntu is hanging there probably
forever. So I have no chance to try the second command the person suggested.
I was wondering what I can do now to solve my problem? Thanks and regards!
