Hello,

I tested it in few 3d games (Planet Penguin Racer etc) and it worked,
but now it doesn't
Here is some more info:

This should work for you.
Download the latest linux drivers from Ati to you home dir
open up a terminal and type the following lines
sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
This is the sources file that allows you to install packages with apt-get
uncomment the universe repos and save the file with ctrl O and then exit with ctrl X.
now install the packages so we can build the fglrx driver
sudo apt-get install fakeroot libstdc++5 module-assistant build-essential gcc-3.4 debhelper linux-headers-$(uname -r)
fakeroot sh ati-*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo module-assistant build,install fglrx-kernel
sudo depmod -a
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo shutdown -r now
After the above commands Kubuntu should boot and have 3d accel
