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.

GDM and oem-config to ensure there aren't any lockups. (LP: #330188)
* debian/rules:
- Start atieventsd at 31.
