It installed okay, but I think it was better with the default graphics driver, so I'm using that one instead-

If it ain't broke, don't fix it is the better plan-

Thanks-

I am a little bit wary of placing this help request in here as it will likely see a lot less traffic from those that know how to fix it but I dare say this is the correct thread for it!


Up until yesterday I have been flying along quite happily on the bleeding edge with KDE 4.5 and my whole system up to scratch according to dist-upgrade.


This morning I did an apt-get dist-upgrade due to some problems with the built in package upgrade manager.

I am quite used to this process momentarily killing my catalyst 10.7 drivers if there is a new kernel version - usually just requires a reinstall...this time however, a re-install is not cutting it.

When I install the drivers from root and then attempt to boot up using the latest kernel I am receiving about 4 or 5 messages, 2 of which are fglrx related: fglrx: hasn't established DRM connection/ GPS not been initialised and a couple of others I cannot remember.

For now I have manually selected to boot kernel 2.6.32-22-generic and managed to reinstall the catalyst drivers no problem.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a workaround that doesn't involve removing the latest kernel version?

If not...any tips on how I can remove the latest kernel version and force GRUB to reconfigure itself?

By closing the security holes in the kernel, support for proprietry driver has been fubared.

Hotfix up there.
