Error After Installing Oibaf's Drivers on Yakkety Yak

Question

2 Hours ago I Installed Oibaf's graphics drivers and then i restarted, and from that point whenever i boot into ubuntu i get stuck on

/dev/sda2: recovering journal
/dev/sda2: clean, 234417/30295728 files, 5171544/120946688 blocks

and gets stuck on that blinking _.

I will guess most of you will tell me to uninstall the drivers but i don't want because of gallium nine's native DX9 support, a solution or an alternative would be much appreciated.

Just in case, here are the specs:

4GB of DDR3 Ram
Intel Core I5 4200u
AMD Radeon HD 8670m 1GB of VRAM
Screen Res: 1366x768
Intel HD Graphics 4400
Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak

AFAIK, amdgpu is the only AMD graphics driver that works with 16.04 — You'reAGitForNotUsingGit, Nov 09 '16 at 12:56

@darkubuntuwithnutella: could you please elaborate why you think it's not duplicate of the linked question? — David Foerster, Nov 09 '16 at 15:01

It's a video driver problem. In Cinnamon, it will force the system to use Cinnamon safe mode. In xfce, vlc or any other video players, it won't start. We currently have to wait for a patch.
