Ati radeon cards Require Natty/11.04 and Modesetting Only
These cards should work with Ubuntu Natty/11.04, however you will need a more recent version of Mesa (7.11.x) than Natty's default (7.10.x) to get 3D acceleration. How do i get mesa 7.11 ?

In the mean time there is ubuntu 11.10 with mesa 7.11. Now i have a wine application working. The radeon drive is still not working as he is working in Windows, but i think there is hope.
Mesa 7.11 is extremely new - you should read that as unstable.
The ubuntu X developers have a PPA to allow for testing of the latest software which includes mesa 7.11.
You should read their upfront notice first.
"Packages for those who think development versions, experimental and unstable are for old ladies. We want our crack straight from upstream git! Well, straight, we want it built and packaged so we don't need to know what we're doing, except that we will break our X and put our computers on fire."
I've checked and do not see anything greater than 7.10 in the current Ubuntu repositories. Additionally, when I look to see if there is a PPA for 7.11, I note that it is for testing and very new. I am not sure what architecture you require (e.g., i386, amd64, etc), but would question as to whether or not you have ensured that 7.10 would suit your needs.
