I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670, is there any drivers available and where/how can i get them, I try to run applications like Blender, Second Life and nothing happens. Ubuntu

Go to Software Sources > Additional Drivers.

It will tell you which drivers are available for your card and let you chooses which one to install.

seems it is using the adequate driver, thank you anyway

What choices are you getting?

The nouveau driver is the open source driver that comes with Ubuntu.

For better performance you can switch to the nvidia driver which is the closed source driver written by Nvidia.

Cheesemill... I think you meant ATI and the FGLRX driver for his Radeon.

But otherwise pccruzadas, Cheesemill was right in where to go and what to install.

I did indeed. I'm trying to do too many things at once ATM

Are these Windows apps? You can't just run Windows apps in Ubuntu; this is Linux, not Windows.

If these are windows apps you may be able to run them in wine, but there's no guarantee. Have a look at the database at http://appdb.winehq.org/ to see other people's experiences with your software.
