Hello
I need to update my system from 11.3 to 11.4, and it seems that having installed the property ATI driver can give me stability issues, so I need to get back to the open source one:
I have installed the ATI property driver following this procedure (downloading the driver from the site, running the script in the following post):
Doubts in installing the property ATI driver
Unless I am mistaken, it means that before performing the update I have to.
1)Modify the xorg conf file and set the “Driver” option to “radeonhd”, so as to switch to the opensource driver.
2)Uninstall the property one safely (using the rpm commands or YAST).
I report below my xorg conf file:

Please tell me if I am correct or not.
