Well hang on, if you have proprietary modules (i.e. restricted) enabled, it doesn't (T60p - marked as a dupe of this bug) detect the chipset and install that driver, which it ought to (does with other chipset IDs). That is a bug Ubuntu can fix. Getting ATI to release proprietary drivers is (sadly) not something we can fix. Given the existing proprietary driver works, all I'm hoping is it will work no less badly than other chipsets using that driver.
