You can't since you want to use ati-driver/fglrx. The fglrx is not part of
the kernel, it's only shipped in the form of a binary-only closed source
kernel module. fglrx doesn't need (and most likely will fail as you see)
the in-kernel radeon drm driver. So, either disable radeon AND drm in your
kernel, or build them as modules and make sure that they are not loaded
before you try to load fglrx.
