Dunno if this helps:

To install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver using the Automatic option, follow these steps:

1. Launch the Terminal Application/Window and navigate to the ATI Proprietary Linux driver download.
2. Enter the command ./ati-driver-installer-8.16.20.run to launch the ATI Proprietary Linux driver installer. The ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Setup dialog box is displayed.
   

Note: You must be logged in with super user privileges in order to successfully install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver.

1. Select Install Driver and click Continue. The ATI License Agreement is displayed.
2. Read the License Agreement and Click I Agree to continue the installation, or Cancel to terminate the installation. The Mode of Installation Dialog Box is displayed.
3. Select Automatic and click Continue. The ATI Proprietary Linux Driver is installed, and the Installation Complete Dialog box is displayed.
4. Click View HTML Release Note for last minute driver information, or Exit to close the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Installer.
5. Launch the Terminal Application/Window and run /usr/X11R6/bin/fglrxconfig to configure the driver.
6. Reboot your system.

You have successfully installed the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver.

Where it says you need to be a 'super user' just prefix the command with sudo and then put in your password when asked for it.

Oh, and that was taken from:

You may need to tweak it a little if you're using a different version of the driver, but they should all have their own installers.
