    [SOLVED] Do I need ATI fglrx drivers for my Radeon 9200?

    I have a ATI radeon 9200 card and need to know that how do I install fglrx drivers for playing games. The ubuntu wiki(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) states that Open Source radeon drivers are enough for me and they state that ATI drivers don't support cards below 9500.
    I am geeting preety poor performance in glxgears(about 800 FPs).

    I just need to play games at decent speed.
