I am trying to update my driver and see this screen. It doesn't allow me to update the driver. Note the greyed out options. How can I fix this?
EDIT: Revert to open source graphics drivers - options greyed out 14.04
$ lspci -k | grep VGA -A2

Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci
but when I do
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx_pci

Even tried following steps at https://askubuntu.com/a/190187/393311 but still am stuck with fglrx_pci
and options are greyed out.

I downloaded amd-driver-installer-15.201.2401-x86.x86_x64.run
from AMD website and ran it (also had to install its dependencies first). Rebooted and started facing this problem: Can't login after Nvidia driver install v 14.04. Booted in recovery mode and tried various things. Finally somehow was able to login (I think I purged fglrx
) and got to this stage:

I am past the greyed out options but the display is all screwed up and it is using software renderer.
Took a chance and selected fglrx-updates
. Logged out and now the display is at proper resolution. Final setup:
