ati driver update problems



Hi all,

I followed the Jem Report guide, to try to get 3D support working in
Suse 10.1

(download latest ati drivers, install them, run aticonfig to point to
new xorg file, run sax2 to set 0=fglrx)

However, now it wont boot to a gui, just straight to a shell login.

This is what I've tried to correct it, with no luck.

- changed aticonfig to point its initial path to the original xorg file

- uninstalled the rpm package that the ati driver installed.

- tried to run sax2 (which wont work as it cant find an Xserver

Any suggestions at all will be gratefully tried. I think I might need
to remove the 'fglrx' module from the kernel, but I dont know what the
opposite of the insmod command is, and I don't want to do something I
dont understand.

If the worst comes to the worst, and I need to reinstall, another
question.

My original installation was over the network, with just one CD. Can I
point Suse to a location on my hard drive where its files are, rather
than having to download all 2gbs again? If so where does it keep its
files?

Many thanks, hope someone can help. If I get it back up, I'll stop
messing around with it!

Jamie
