Normally your system would be able to have both and i386 and an amd64 version at the same time. But that's a library for the video driver, so it doesn't really make sense to have 2 different versions of it at the same time unless you are going to be driving 2 different video cards and want/need to use a 64bit and a 32bit at the same time. The way I would have done it is to do CTRL+ALT+F1, login as you and then do: sudo stop lightdm sudo dpkg -r libdrm-radeon1:i386 sudo apt-get install libdrm-radeon1 Hopefully that would take care of it.
