Confused About ATI Drivers

There must be 5 ways posted to install/update ATI drivers kernel-modules etc. I have some experience with linux and in the past have managed to fumble through some difficult installs but you have gotten me totally confused this time.

From the beginning:
AMD64 3200 mhz on an ASUS A8V-E deluxe mb
1 gig of ram
ATI x600 pci-e video card, Dell 17" FP in digital mode
80 gig SATA HD for WinXP
33 gig IDE HD for linux
DVD RW
CD rom

Installed FC3 x86_64 from DVD. Had to use "linux text". Can run FC3 only in init 3 mode, or I get a blank screen when it loads "x". Have lan to the i-net (via an add on pci card, FC3 will not see the mb lan or wireless lan). I can run yum no problem. I have downloaded various fglrx drivers per postings etc. but to be frank I am confused on what to do first, second, third. Had tried a number of things, run some rpm and yum installs (including a complete yum update) but no joy, so I have started over again now back to just having installed FC3 (2.6.9-1.667) off of the DVD, added KEY for yum and confirmed yum works. So how about some nice simple instructions on how to get the ATI X600 to work?

That thread just shows how to use the "generic" vesa driver, without acceleration.

This thread has the instructions on how to install the ATI drivers with 3D acceleration enabled.

Pay particular attention to LeAkEd's posts.
