Hey guys I searched around for this for a while, but couldn't find a solution. The driver is supported on the ATI driver site under the Linux section, but when I download it, it comes out as a .run file. I have no idea how to install it. If I double click the .run file I get an error. Any pro Linux users know how to install the driver? Thanks~

Follow the procedure below to install software packaged in a .run file:

Find the .run file in the File Browser
Right-click the file and select Properties
Under the Permissions tab, make sure that Allow executing file as program is ticked and press Close
Double-click the .run file to open it. A dialog box should appear
Press Run in Terminal to run the installer
A Terminal window will open. Follow any instructions on-screen to install the program
Note: Once you have started the installer, it may take a while to display an installation screen. This is normally due to the installer extracting all of the files from the .run file ready for use.

Copy/pasted off of the Ubuntu forums.

Well instead of bumping a thread that's dead, maybe try it yourself if you have an ATI RADEON x300.
