I found i had no X until I fixed that issue when using fglrx - so perhaps its driver dependent. In any case, Dale's setup is not working so I think the principle of fixing the obvious issue first is a sensible approach. If fixing the log file errors doesnt help, then sure, fall back to trying other things.
