You probably want to fully uninstall the existing drivers before installing
the new ones. You may also want to run fglrxconfig (or whatever it's called)
to autogenerate an xorg.conf file (you shouldn't need to, but if it's not
working...)
Can you:
$ sudo modprobe fglrx
?
Running
$ glxinfo | grep dir
should give you
direct rendering: yes
if the driver is installed properly.
If you like, you can send me your /var/log/Xorg.* log files and your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (if it exists) and I'll try and give you a hand
diagnosing the issue.
