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.

modprobe: Can't locate fglrx.
I suppose that means there's something I didn't do right and you have
a hunch what part I should redo? (Was so long since I first tried
installing so I can't really relate)
