Oh, can't edit again? Timed out?
I was just going to add, if you get the dreaded black screen and no gui/desktop, you can try to edit your xorg.conf file and just change it back to default or get rid of it entirely so you can start over. It creates the file after you try to install the driver so even if something goes wrong, you can get your system to boot up properly and it should use VESA drivers or at worst, radeon.
Not sure what happens with AMD/Radeon hardware, though. I haven't used a Radeon card in so long but the concept or behavior should be similar to even Nvidia installs.
