    I recommend the Envy driver installer, from here:

        If you are using Gutsy:
        KMenu -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Restricted Manager.

        This will install fglrx 8.37.6. There isn't support for Radeon R600 (HD 2000).

        First AMD driver with R600 support was AMD 8.41.7 Display Driver:

        Latest AMD driver is 7.12 (name change => year.month)
