It's correct that the proprietary drivers from ATI wont support your card Radeon x2300 Mobility after 12.04 as discussed above. ATI dropped support,and there are some hacks floating around on how to downgrade x-server and stuff and maybe get it working in versions above 12.04 - I never did. Did you?
However, the open source driver does work, and it works ...

Got it back.....!
I removed the fglrx driver, installed fglrx-update and created a new user account.

I would purge the current driver and alter my sources.list to use quantal
sudo sed -i 's/raring/quantal/' /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update
then install the driver you want and what ever other quantal stuff you want
then switch back to raring
sudo sed -i 's/quantal/raring/' /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update
then lock the driver in synaptic

Removing Catalyst/fglrx
The uninstall script in the first command will only exist if you downloaded the drivers and installed them directly (rather than building packages as this guide does). Skip the first command if it does not exist.
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
If you ...

Q1: Yes, fglrx has much better 3d performance. Some people report worse 2d performance, though.
Q2: Installation itself does not edit xorg.conf. I recommend to make a backup anyhow. If you run aticonfig --initial, what might be necessary to configure fglrx after installation, it will back up the current xorg.conf and install a new one.
Q3: Simply apt-get ...

you should install lm-sensors pack and check your GPU (graphics card)...
try to install proprietary ati or nvidia driver. Its more efficient in some configs. (i have ati hd 5470 and open source driver makes my card overheat -around 80 C all time- and in low performance mode is too low in performance :) )
install fglrx or flglrx-updates from software center ...

in my experiece, do not install drivers using the additional drivers interface. use synaptic (not installed by default in recent ubuntu(s), or terminal.
use the x-swats or x.org edgers repositories. (u can google them to learn how to add them, but dont use both of them)
install the following packages
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms ...

There seems to be lot of problems with proprietary drivers in Raring. It is a fresh release and not everything is always working as it should.
Make sure that you don't have proprietary and open source drivers installed at the same time. When you try different drivers, always keep track of which one is loaded. To do that you can use this command:
$ lspci ...

Try letting ATI tools reconfigure the xorg.conf with:

Jay!
I just installed fresh 13.04 and I in "System Settings - Details" I have "Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770" in the "Graphics". I have ati 4850 too.
Do you know what is "Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770"?
And did you find the way to install drivers on 12.04, 12.10 or 13.04?
I've tried so many ways of installing them on 12.04 and 12.10 and failed again and again. I ...

You might want to download the drivers from AMD's website. The ones in the official repositories are not the latest, and they really don't run well. fglrx by the way are NOT the same drivers as the ones provided by AMD.

These are the latest Beta drivers for ...

Run:
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
And report back what was the result.
It is a package manager problem but I would be surprised if you could use that driver on your system. As far as AMD is concerned you have legacy hardware. When people use these proprietary drivers there seems to be lot of problems with hardware that falls into this category because ...

Run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy
And restart your computer.
Do note that these packages are not officially supported by Ubuntu, so use them at your own risk. If something goes wrong, you can purge the packages by running following commands:

From what I can tell, the ISA adapter temperatures are your ATI Radeon temperatures. I say this because sometimes, if the driver doesn't provide a name for an extension (ISA, PCI, PCIe, etc.), the system may automatically call it by the ISA bus number.

BastiFantasti outlines a solution for 13.4 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450&page=76:
Basically, it requires getting older versions of the Intel drivers, and running
aticonfig --px-dgpu
after before rebooting.

I managed to fix my Unity by switching back to the Xorg driver and renaming the ~/.config folder. I'm not sure exactly which configs got messed up, but starting fresh without config files worked for me.

Have a read through this as it it's very complete
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide
You should be able to get everything working by carefully following the instructions. Though I'd follow all of the un-installation steps first to get your install back to the open source drivers and in a working state before trying again.

The packages you might be looking for in this PPA are fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle.
But I recommend making a backup of your Ubuntu parititon, for example using Clonezilla, before trying this PPA.
