Yes.

Yes it usually creates XF86Config-4 so I just rename it to XF86Config for
standards.

Load "dri" is set and the Device driver is set to fglrx.

I've tried using the kernels drivers and the inbuilt ATI ones. I can't even
get into X if I try to use the kernel module but when I use the inbuilt one
I can.
