Go here, get the blob:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
Download to your home directory.
Enable f-lock, Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, "sudo service lightdm stop" to
kill the desktop, "sudo sh `ls ati*`", walk through it, reboot.
After reboot just go into system/properties in the ATI application and
configure the display like windoze there.
Google "ati driver linux install" for more detail. You can make
packages as well that are more apt-friendly to update, but not sure mint
is supported like ubuntu.
