Title:
  Black screen when entering GDM login page

Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version:  Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 stable amd64
  GDM version: 3.10.0.1-0ubuntu7
  CPU Vendor: AMD
  GPU vendor: AMD
  Computer type: Laptop

  After fresh installing Ubuntu GNOME 14.10, everything was fine and I
  installed fglrx. However after I reboot my machine it just stuck
  between the start screen (with GNOME's footprint in the center) and
  the login page. It was a black screen but the screen is on because I
  could see the backlight. However I was able to change to a tty by
  pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and after I installed LightDM and made it as
  default my machine successfully booted into the login page and
  everything was fine.

  I think this is a bug related to GDM, fglrx, systemd and upstart.
