What Linux you using? You can download and compile Ati's propetary driver. 2 versions avable 32 bit (or i386 on Linux laguage) and 64 bit. Obiously, if you using 64 bit Linux, you need 64 bit drivers for video card.
Go to the Drivers & Software and select driver you need, also check instructions. You going need download as and install some development tools and libaries, to compile driver.
As Example for latest Kubuntu: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3096220.0
