I just installed Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon on my Samsung Series 5 netbook (dual boot with Windows 8.1, which I reinstalled myself).The first boot worked fine but I then installed the package fglrx-updates for my AMD Radeon HD 8750M. And finally I installed the AMD Drivers and the Catalyst Control Center software.Upon rebooting, the X Server didn't start and I can only use the console mode.I removed the fglrx-updates package with apt-get, but I don't know how I could remove the AMD Drivers.Can you please help me restarting my X Server ?

I finally made it to my desktop thanks to this topic : http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=137660Just read his method starting from the way that worded for me!. To generate the packages for Linux Mint 17 you need to use this parameter : --buildpkg Ubuntu/trusty.
