There's a thread in the forum as well. Searching for fglrx it's the first |
| 34 |
one right now, though it's titled towards nvidia. But just look inside. |
| 35 |
there are instructions on how to revert back. However, the following rule |
| 36 |
always holds true if you are using fglrx (and to some extent, the nvidia |
| 37 |
driver): before updating your system, check if there's any important update |
| 38 |
for X, and if so, please, always triple check in the forum and the web that |
| 39 |
the new X release is supported by your drivers. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
At least for fglrx, this is almost never true so the regular procedure is |
| 42 |
to mask the packages that are about to be updated, and check again when a |
| 43 |
new ati-drivers revision is in place. |
