Before we try to install it with that package try this. Go to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx"

Restart the PC and see what happens.

If you are running Jaunty then you may be out of luck using the proprietary driver. Jaunty ships with x.org server 1.6 which requires the fglrx driver released with Catalyst 9.4. Unfortunately ATI dropped support for a bunch of cards from that release. If yours is one of those cards you would have to run one of the OSS ATI drivers. Your other option is to install Intrepid instead.
