ATI Radeon X300 is Driving Me Crazy

In order to install the ATI proprietary driver for my Radeon Mobility X300

1-I fully read the ATI arch wiki
2-downloaded catalyst from AUR. makepkg -s
prompts that it needs catalyst-utils
3-downloaded catalyst-utils from AUR. makepkg -s gives me :
    A: catalyst*.bz file. sudo pacman -U catalyst*.bz prompts me that there is conflict with libgl
    B: ati-driver*.run file. sudo sh ./ati-driver*.run issues errors during installation saved in a log file as follows:
