I'm suffering from this issue a lot. I have users stepping on each other's toes and overwriting their own updates. This is so critical that I truly thinking of migrating my entire web site to some other CMS solution if I can not get this fixed. For the life of me, why such a thing is not a core functionality?
As much as I was to happy to see this module, I installed it from here http://drupal.org/node/125013. It installed fine I saw the options. This is what I did ...
1- installed and enabled the module fine. No errors.
2- I gave the 2 roles (site admins and authors) privs to access and administer checkout.
This is what happened ...
1- authors (which was only me on the system) were not able to edit any page, period. I kept getting this message
This document is being edited by "" as of 7:12 pm on December 31, 1969. I know 100% that this node was not being edited by any one else at all.
2- Above message as you can see did not return the user name neither the date was correct. I have dates showing all over the pages and they are all correct. This MSG was not.
3- Admins (which was only me on the system), were able able to edit a page and they get this MSG when they did ...
Node number is 40
This document is now locked against simultaneous editing. It will unlock when you navigate elsewhere, unless you check the box to reserve the document in your name.
I then (as admin) made a change and submitted the page, however, the other author (me) could not get to the page to edit. Clicking edit page showed message "...This document is being edited by "" as of 7:12 pm on December 31, 196...".
The above link as well as the install file indicated that this module is compatible with Drupal 5. It does look, however, that it is not working as it should be.
Can you please shed some light on these issues and what your plans are to make it work with 5?
Thank you a lot of such a great great effort.

Perhaps try the other guys effort instead; http://drupal.org/node/109926
BTW, neither of the people who've posted upgrades to this module are the module developer which means they won't know you've posted an issue for their patch unless you post it on the issue they've created (and therefore you'll unlikely get an answer).

Hi,
I have a problem yet, about checkout... I need prevent a user from editing a node that is already being edited,
and the user was informed that node is being edited. I see this is ok in your post, but not for me, maybe it is another problem:
I installed checkout, and I am using in a node type book, and when the user check out the node, only
this user can edit, but others users don´t receive msg "This document is being edited by...", and can´t edit.
This is bad becouse others users don´t know what is happening.
Other thing, the type book is a hierarchy, and the nodes below isn´t
checked out, and only user that checked out the above can edit, the others can´t. The page is redirect to main page.
Thanks for any help.

thanks.
