As the log says: "maybe driver kernel module missing or bad". If the 
module is actually installed, this means that it couldn't be loaded.

Shut down X, or even better reboot your system into single user mode to 
make sure that X was never loaded. Then go to a text console and type
  modprobe fglrx

and report what it says.
