Radeon cards have their open source drivers as well, nicely called Radeon. Or you could use the proprietary drivers from AMD which are the fglrx drivers.
Open Ubuntu's dash, and type in Software Sources. Open that, and head on over to the Additional Drivers tab. Now you should be presented with a list of graphics drivers. Since I don't know what graphics card model you have (whether new or old), I'm not sure what you'll see.
Just take note that if it has X.Org early in the name, then it's the open source driver. If it has fglrx at the end, then it's the AMD Official proprietary driver. To install either one, just select it and click Apply changes. Now restart, and you should be fine.
P.S: To avoid any problems, just make sure to do this in a new Terminal BEFORE installing the drivers:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
