Okay, after you've installed Linux, if you want to get rid of the basic video drivers provided, you need to install fglrx.
fglrx is a video driver provided by AMD/ATI for the Radeon and FireGL graphics cards for Linux, and there are many other driver options, but this is probably the easiest and it works fine most -if not all- of the time.

Which version of graphics card do you have? This can be answered by running the command
"lspci -v"
One of the lines in the output should look similar to this "01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]"
In this case, we would have the Radeon HD 3200 card.
But, that's not all.
Do you have 32-bit Linux or 64-bit Linux?
If you don't know, you're probably using the 32-bit Linux version.
