The only thing I can suggest is to go to the ATI site, click on Drivers &
Software, Linux Drivers & Software, then either the Radion 8500 Series and
higher, or the Notebooks with ATI Graphics.
Have a good read and hopefully the new drivers will work for you.

Never mud wrestle with a pig.. you get dirty and the pig enjoys it!
Never try to teach a pig to dance. You waste your time and annoy the pig.
Theoretically pigs can fly if propelled with enough force.
