[Bug 1029898] [NEW] Unable to remove fglrx AMD driver properly using apt

[Christopher Forster]

Public bug reported:

Hi, I read on Ubuntu Forums that someone uninstalled the fglrx AMD
driver using apt & could not get to the login screen (didn't load).

The best way is using AMD's own uninstaller:
sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

Uninstalling by apt should restore to the standard driver properly,
which in this case didn't happen.
