Have you run "aticonfig --initial"?

This is what I did when I did a fresh install of xorg the other day:
1.) Download hwd  ->  "pacman -Sy hwd"
2.) Update hwd  ->  "hwd -u"
3.) Create an initial xorg.conf  ->  "hwd -xa"
3.) Download the ATI drivers  ->  "pacman -S ati-fglrx"
4.) Configure xorg.conf  ->  "aticonfig --initial"
5.) Set resolutions  ->  "aticonfig --resolutions=1024x768,800x600,640x480"
6.) Start X
7.) Check to see if drivers are installed  ->  "fglrxinfo"
8.) If you see stuff about ATI and such, you are good.  If you see
anything about MESA, then something went wrong.
