[SOLVED] Thanks for your help. FINALLY, I got catalyst working. I took many hours though. Here is what I tried (giving as much detail as possible to help others): > 2016-09-13 10:39 GMT+02:00 G.

Upgraded the system, and reinstalled catalyst packages. Tried Xorg 1.17 and 1.18. Result: Xorg won't start. Gave some errors. Googled those errors (Can't remember the error now). Tried a few things suggested on forums. Still no luck. 3- Tried 'amdgpu' package. After installing everything and setting up, found out that amdgpu doesn't support my card (R7 260x). I needed to rebuild kernel to enable support for my card. Settled on 'radeon' instead. 'radeon' didn't let me check my fan speed and temps so I kept looking around.

Removed 'amdgpu', blacklisted 'radeon', and then installed catalyst-hook and catalyst-utils packages (15.12.3, i guess). Again added 'nomodeset' to kernel parameters and generated grub.cfg. And after almost 5 hours of cursing linux, I finally got my GUI back. Thanks guys for your help!
