open source ATI drivers not working



Default Ubuntu 10.10 install.



system info -> graphics -> driver says "unknown" and experiece : 'standard'
Hardware -> additional drivers : totally empty.
Windows are moving around sorta slow.
lspci | grep VGA




01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]


What's wrong. Why doesn't additional drivers show propertietary ATI driver? And why is there driver : "unknown"



Can somebody help me to troubleshoot this one...



Find your driver here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx




Once you download it, install it:



sudo sh 'path/to/file/drivers.sh'


After it is done installing, type into terminal:



sudo aticonfig --initial



Then restart and it should work!
