Generate a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
I believe that the section about making a copy of the old xorg file should be removed, as it seems to me it is making a lot of people getting stuck, not reading the instructions enough attentively
I will remove the section in roughly two weeks if none complains or express anything against it.

wrong link / file
The document says to get the driver (manual install) from http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run but the actual URL is http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run The file is amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run (starts with amd, not ati). This is seen in other places on this document.
Fixed. --Dtl131 08:19, 30 January 2012 (CST)
Link not working
