Proprietary drivers - do i need to disable them before upgrade?

[mastablasta]

In older version one had to disable the drivers first (especially GPU drivers) and then do the upgrade. Do we still need to do that or is this done automaticly? i am asking because it is not mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaucyUpgrades/Kubuntu

I plan to upgrade a dualboot mashcine. but not just yet. later when i have time and also servers must be busy right now. I can't wait for 14.04 to stick with ( hate doing upgrades they take too much of my time - same goes with fresh installs). i just hope AMD doesn't go crazy and drop their support on me for LTS version...

I upgraded with the nvidia proprietary driver, and I did not have any problems.

I upgraded my two AMD CPU desktop machines, one a dual chip and the other a quad chip, and had no problems. Both machines' upgrades went smoothly, automatically installing the ATI Fire GL, and both machines offering 'Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerator' as a second choice (if you want it). Both choices are indicated to be "Tested by the Ubuntu developers" and also "License: Proprietary". The ATI FIre GL driver is working fine on both of my machines. This information came from the "Additional Drivers" (Jockey) icon under Kickoff Application Launcher:Applications:System. If the Jockey utility is not there, you will have to install it using the Muon Package Manager.
