FAQ:I installed the proprietary ATI driver from an RPM i found somewhere, now Ark will not boot properly
Installing the ATI driver from an RPM from the ATI website, will break your opengl installation even before you enable the driver, causing your X to not start up on bootup. To fix the problem, perform the following steps to revert back to the state of your system before installing the driver.
- Reboot your system into text mode, as described elsewhere.
- Log in as arklinux (type in arklinux and press enter at the login prompt)
- Run the following commands, and upon their completion, reboot the machine and let it start up as normal:
rpm -e --nodeps xorg xorg-Mesa-libGL Xdriver-ati /usr/sbin/apt-get -f install /usr/sbin/apt-get install xorg xorg-Mesa-libGL Xdriver-ati
