Some folks might tell you to install the AMD drivers, but AMD dropped driver support for your card last summer; so, forcing an install of AMD drivers now is only going to corrupt your display.

What might work is adding either xforcevesa or nomodeset to your kernel boot parameters: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132

Right ... and the step-by-step actions are listed in the link.

You need to read through them, especially the part about setting the options temporarily in an already installed OS.
