$ Sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git-core

$ Sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-gl-dev mesa-common-dev xutils-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev xserver-xorg-dev

$ Git clone git: // anongit.free‑top.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati

$ Xf86-video-ati cd

$ Sudo./autogen. sh -- prefix =/usr -- enable-dri

$ Sudo make

$ Sudo make install

The above command is installed with the open-source edition atidriver, which can support most new ATI graphics cards. Try it.
