I was trying to install ATI proprietary drivers then after a reboot this error message pops up. The desktop does not load properly rendering my keyboard and mouse useless. How do I fix it?

Thanks

-Reboot into recovery mode
-Enter the root shell
-Enter your root password when prompted
-Remove the driver you installed before the problems began
eg.

Code: Select all

apt-get remove fglrx
If you installed it via a package manager, a command like above is what's necessary.
I'm not sure what the exact package you installed is, so you or someone else might be able to shed light on that.
If you installed the driver manually, I think the command is:

Code: Select all

sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

Your options may be a little different, but it should be more or less the same.
