AMD FirePro V5800 Graphics Driver

Uninstalling the Driver:

If the initial installation of the driver was done using the operating system's package management software (for example, RPM or APT), use that package management software to remove the ATI proprietary Linux driver.

Uninstalling RPM Packages:

Make sure you are logged in with superuser privileges.
Run the command:
rpm -e [RPM_package_name]
NOTE: Do not include the version or architecture component when running the command.

Once the ATI proprietary Linux driver has been uninstalled, you must restore the X.Org configuration (xorg.conf) file so that your system can revert to using the X.Org open source driver that ships with your operating system. Run the following command to locate the backup configuration files available on your system:
ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-*
NOTE: If the xorg.conf is not restored, the open source driver may fail to start properly after the ATI proprietary Linux driver is uninstalled.

Run the following command to replacethe current xorg.conf file with the latest version of the backup configuration file:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-[version_number] /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reboot your system. Your system should start up using the open source driver that ships with your operating system.
Uninstalling DPKG/Debian Packages
Make sure you are logged in with 'sudo' privileges.
Run the command:
sudo apt-get purge fglrx-kernel-source fglrx-modaliases xorg-driver-fglrx libamdxvba1 xorg-driver-fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle
NOTE: Do not include the version, architecture, or .deb file extention when running the command.
