I assume that you already have the X server and fonts installed because 
AFAIK they are not brought in by the Gnome desktop group.

I've never needed fglrx-x11-drv-32bit

That post is kind of outdated unfortunately.

One year ago this was needed but the current packages ( since last 
summer actually ) add these options at install time via 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf and also move a stock , conflicting 
library out of way.

At install time, the fgrlx-x11-drv package disables the stock radeon 
driver by adding "radeon.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=radeon" to the 
kernel command line

So the module loads successfully ...

If you can, please restart from scratch.
a) restore the system to a pristine condition ( including here the 
removal of xorg.conf and any modifications you did to grub.conf ).
b) do a yum install --enablerepo=elrepo-testing kmod-fglrx
c) reboot
Normally step d should be "enjoy", If the system boots but you have a 
black screen, please switch to a text console ( ctrl-alt-F2 ), run ps 
-axfw > /tmp/ps.txt, pastebin somewhere the content of /tmp/ps.txt  and 
then contact me via freenode.net / #elrepo
If the 32bit drivers are needed in order to get rid of the "no UMS 
support" error, please let me know so that we can add it as a known 
issue in the wiki page
