Install the device driver by:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati

then reboot.

create a script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/sgfxi && chmod +x sgfxi && sgfxi

with name for example video.sh, and run:

chmod +x video.sh

go in virtual console (ctrl-alt-F2 for example) and run it:

sudo ./video.sh

this script downloads the last version of a script form smxi.org which does all the magick - stops X server, downloads the last proprietary driver form AMD (works for Nvidia too), installs it and runs X
