I saw a hand he advised to go through envyng. So I installed envyng-qt (I'm on kubuntu). I started on the program and it leaves me a list of drivers, except that there are red crosses everywhere, none are compatible and not recommended. For now I visibly ATI-8660 Oubuntu4 is activated it is marked as "not compatible". If your system locks up after you logout or When you try to switch to a virtual console this year Might Be instance of this bug . It Is Likely That the only problem for users with underinsured motorist year version of Xorg at least 7.0. Probably it only affects users of DVI.

This is not year definetly attractive solution Since it compromised your systems performance. Hopefully, this Will Be Solved very soon. On Some systems, the BIOS screen May not offer a choice of gold UMA SIDEPORT. In this box, you can try Turning the Amount of RAM Dedicated to the video card down, from 64Mb to 128Mb for example.
