graphics - Installing Driver for ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series

I am dual booting Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit / Kernel 4.2.0-35-generic) with OSX on my iMac (mid-2010). I managed to install, and am able to use, Ubuntu with the nomodeset workaround, but the monitor can't wake out of sleep and I can't play games without a proper graphics driver.




My question is: How do I install the most up-to-date graphics driver available for my ATI Radeon HD 4670? I realize it will almost certainly be third party, and that's fine.



Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.



*Edit: I should add that I can't even adjust my brightness, which is my main concern as it makes my computer run really hot and also requires sunglasses.



**Edit: The currently installed driver is Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe and no drivers are available in the additional drivers option.
