if worst comes to worst, you will be able to get it working using "framebuffer" instead of the ATI driver.

That has happened to me before with various computers - when attempting to test the graphics, the screen goes blank and never recovers. If one of the values does not work after completing the install, go in and manually edit XF86Config-4. Hint, till you are sure you have a working XF86Config-4 file, do not check the box that asks "Would you like to start X automatically?" during install. You can change that later when all is well.
