I'm in a similar predicament, I've got an integrated 4000 series and in order for it to work correctly, I needed to install 12.04 LTS and install the beta driver from AMD's Website and run that. I believe that after you install the driver you can perform an upgrade using the upgrade manager and run that. But to be safe, after the install I'd install the driver again before restarting.
