GDM/LightDM won't start after installing Catalyst

I just installed my new R9 290X today. Open Source drivers didn't seem to work well with it so I tried Catalyst. I used the catalyst-total pacakge from the AUR. After installing it GDM wouldn't start. Noted on the wiki page to try LightDM and that would not work either. I also tried installing catalyst-fix-gdm from the AUR and that did not work either. Would anyone know what is going on here? If more information is needed please let me know and I can provide.

Re: GDM/LightDM won't start after installing Catalyst

I haven't tried catalyst-total but I have successfully installed Catalyst following the instructions on the wiki (the unnoficial repository one). Be sure to follow all the steps in Configuring the driver, specially the kernel modules at boot.

Hope this helps.
