you did not pray before installing, did you ? :)

I am afraid I do not know how to solve that for the moment, assuming it 
is solvable
the only thing I can suggest is to try to install the driver downloaded 
directly from ATI ( 
https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=RHEL%20x86%2064 ) in 
order to verify that their driver is still compatible with the current 
RHEL minor release. If you can install it then I will definitely do my 
best to adapt the ElRepo packages

that's odd but I have to admit it did the same on my VM

I hope that there are no incompatible changes inside Xorg...
