Radeon 9200 Driver?

Question

I've been using Linux for a while, but haven't really done more than installed programs. I have Ubuntu 12.04 with an ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card. Ubuntu didn't recognize it during the install. All I want is a driver. Preferably the proprietary driver, but I'll settle for an open-source one if I need to. I went to the AMD support website, and whenever I click on the download link for "ATI Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver 8.28.8" I get redirected to the main AMD website. I tried this on Firefox, Chrome, even booted up my netbook and tried it on IE9. Does anybody have a download link? And if not, a link to download an open-source alternative? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty much still a newbie at this.

GLX fbconfig: yes 
GLX texture from pixmap: yes

Solution

Try this version of Catalyst, it's working well with Gnome3: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run

So I tried the command and I got: OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.

How do I know if a driver is being used for it, or if it's just being treated as a standard VGA adapter?

Search for additional drivers from dash. When started it will show a list of available drivers. You can activate one if none are or another drives if one is. But please stick to the recommended.

From that info you know that it is recognizing your card, what makes you say otherwise? AMD (ATI as it was known back then) stopped supporting the card ages ago so there is no Proprietary drivers (Catalyst) by the way, when you boot Ubuntu without installing any drivers the open source drivers (for any brand of card) are used.

this didn't work for me, I got an unusable system until I uninstalled Catalyst.
