Title:
  OEM install with fglrx driver preinstalled causes garbage display

Status in The Somerville Project:
  Fix Released
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  During the Dell OEM factory installation, AMD or NVIDIA drivers are
  pre-installed.  Running through oem-config for the first time causes
  the system to freeze at the last screen.

  The root cause appears to be that gdm is getting invoked before the X
  server is properly closed from the first session.

  Some drivers (particularly AMD's) don't handle multiple X servers
  well.

  The solution is to just let the normal GDM init script start GDM and
  not invoke it during OEM config.
