--------------------------
I installed ati-driver-installer-8-9-x86.x86_64 and ran 'aticonfig --initial' but that config didnt work so I made this one. This is totally new as now I am running Archlinux_x64. This config works fine when I change driver from 'fglrx' to 'vesa'.
I don't get why 'fglrx' and 'dri' modules are not being found when I try this configuration out.
lsmod verifies fglrx is loaded.

The Arch wiki for ati cards has installation tips and a trouble shooting section.

it was apparently not findin the libs since there is only one 'ModulePath' section for the xorg.conf it wasnt able to see the x86 and x86_64 lib paths at once. I ended up making softlinks to the other end.

#!/bin/bash
#AFTER USER STARTED Xorg
uzer=`ls /home/`
pth="/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
pth64="/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
cd $pth64
ln -s $pth/libpcidata.so libpcidata.so
ln -s $pth/libfb.so libfb.so
ln -s $pth/libxaa.so libxaa.so
ln -s $pth/libvbe.so libvbe.so
cp /media/lspace/install/arch/xorg.conf.usethis /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ln -s $pth/libextmod.so libextmod.so
ln -s $pth/libdbe.so libdbe.so
mkdir fonts
ln -s $pth/fonts/libfreetype.so fonts/libfreetype.so
ln -s $pth/libvgahw.so libvgahw.so
mkdir input
ln -s $pth/input/kbd_drv.so input/kbd_drv.so
ln -s $pth/input/mouse_drv.so input/mouse_drv.so
ln -s $pth/extensions/librecord.so extensions/librecord.so
ln -s $pth/extensions/libglx.so extensions/libglx.so
cp -r /usr/lib64/dri /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
