Bug Description

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

When I selected "Disable fglrx" in restricted-manager it removed the fglrx driver from my system as expected. But it did not update my xorg.conf. It still contains "Driver" "fglrx". This makes it break on the next boot.

I will attach my xorg.conf and the log file.

I guess that's because debconf and xorg.conf had inconsistent values, so that 'fglrx' ended up being the 'old free driver'.

After our IRC discussion I'm really puzzled. Any chance you could play around with this and see if you can reproduce it?

Ah, this sounds similar to what I tested with Adam in bug 91036 yesterday. Could you please install http://librarian.launchpad.net/6840625/restricted-manager_0.10_all.deb and test again? If something fails, can you please attach /var/log/restricted-manager.log here? Thank you!

I am pretty sure that this is fixed in the latest release. Please reopen and spank me if it still breaks for you. Thank you!
