I'm running uanta alpha 3 and few nights ago the new interface to instal the proprietary drivers landed. I decided to test it and selected fglrx a the driver I wan to use for my graphic card (HD5770). The other choice was fglrx-update but I picked the first of the two since no more explanations were provided.

Upon reboot, the computer throw me back to tty1 and a console login prompt. On tty7 the last message displayed is :
* Stopping save kernel messages [OK]

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.g | grep EE give :
[ timestamp] (WW) No matchingDevice section for instance (BusID PCI:0@2:0:1) found

Nothing special pop in dmesg nor in kern.log about fglrx though I have a lot of error about fd0 which is the floppy disk I don't have I guess.

I'm pretty stuck right now since I don't know how to remove fglrx and revert to the xorg ati driver by command line, cleanly. I also ignore if the new interface for proprietary drivers has a command line interface...

Cheers,
Thomas
