Nvidia to ATI

Asked by 2canchu

Okay, I was running an Nividia G-force 9 series(piece of crap never did work very good) I even posted a complaint on this website, but was told nvidia nvidia nvidia nvidia. Well OK, that bugger recently fried.(bought it new). Now I'm running an ATI 4year old x850xt. Works pretty good(compared to that Nvidia-and yes I used the drivers) The problem is I have 3 TBs that have been imaged w/ that bloody Nvidia and now that I'm using ATI I can't get into my 10.04 OS(except for 1 9.04 or 9.10., I'm not sure.) I've tried the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, that doesn't do anything, startx, forget it. I want to get to my 3TBs. Yes I can access them by slaving them but anyone have a solution? Nvidia seems to be embedded in the kernel and does not recognize ATI.

A simple solution worth a try:
boot in recovery mode

rename the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.saved for instance:
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saved

Reboot
Cross your fingers
