Hello Meshuggah27

Welcome to Kubuntu Forums.

The Radeon is an ATI. Look at something like http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#H...iver_.28ATI.29

The unofficial ATI Linux Driver Wiki:

This helped a noob like me installing the right drivers for a Ati radeon 9600 pro.

Re: Radeon Help

I am new to Kubuntu, but this is what worked for me.
( I used these steps for the ATI Radeon x800 PRO )

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

The steps I took were for Kubuntu 6.06...

1) Start Kubuntu in safe mode.
2) Wait for the computer to lock up well, almost.
3) Hit ESC key REALLY hard in frustration to bring up the command prompt.
4) Enter the following statements. But understand I have no idea what they do.

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

5) Reboot the machine. (Just type "reboot" and hit enter.)
6) Run Kubuntu in normal mode. Everything the graphics card should work.

I apologize if any of the terms I used I got from using Windows since version 3.1 and before that DOS.
