Checking operation
Assuming that a reboot to your login was successful, you can check if fglrx is running properly with the following commands:
$ lsmod | grep fglrx
$ fglrxinfo
it returns an error
[mark@Arch ~]$ lsmod | grep fglrx
[mark@Arch ~]$ fglrxinfo
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 155 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)

I've blacklisted radeon from /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and it isn't loading in /etc/modules-load.d/
also added fglrx in /etc/modules-load.d/ (i think it was added by default)
Someone from romanian forums(i am romanian) suggested me to remove radeon from modules in mkintcpio (did that) and rebuilded the image after ,still no luck.
I think there's a problem with fglrx somewhere (because grep fglrx isn't returning anything.

Answer 1

Ok,
1) Did you install the catalyst (which only provides the kernel modules for the kernel Vi0L0 had when building it) or do you have one of the other packages installed?
2) Which version did you install? 13.4, 13.11?
3) Did you run "sudo aticonfig --[options required]"?
4) Did you run "sudo catalyst_build_module all"?
Also, remove fglrx from /etc/modules-load-d/ . It should already be added in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf if you've done everything correctly.
