To see if it is installed properly just run 'fglrxconfig'. Also you can just run glxgears, if you've got HW acceleration then you will get a good few thousand FPS (i get ~2800 on a 9600XT). I'm on gentoo, but I'll dump my xorg.conf for if you need any pointers. (Bear in mind I have a trackball and a mouse)

Bear in mind ATI+Linux=lots of pain. Took me about a year to get HW acceleration on mine. Good luck!
