ATI Drivers with stock kernel [SOLVED]

I was reading around in a few threads here on the forums and read of someone who put (or was supposed to put) 2 modules in the rc.conf file.....I am using the ATI drivers with the stock kernel and dont have any radeon related modules in my rc.conf and i would like to know if i have to put any in for certain things to work?

pacman -S ati-drivers-arch

then,

add fglrx to the modules line.

Check the wiki for more detailed information.

If you have the module in your xorg.conf file, you don't need it in the rc.conf file, correct?

Xorg should load the module when you start it up, in theory.
