Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Gnome Desktop environment.
2. Install the proprietary AMD driver (Catalyst) fglrx and reboot.
Actual Results:  
Blank screen if set to gdm, if set to auto login my user you get the "Oh No"

Similar to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=955167 however, using
the fixed gdm as well as the later version of Catylast driver.
