I'm probably going to get frowned upon because this is a question for the forums but hey ho. The open drivers should have installed automatically and it is the 'xserver-xorg-video-ati' driver however if you have already installed the 'xorg-driver-fglrx' package you will need to 'sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx' as it seems now that x11 is not dependant on the xorg.conf file it automatically picks the fglrx driver but I think specifying the ati driver in the xorg file should also suffice. The reason I answer this here at the risk of getting frowned upon is that the new version of 'Adept' in Kubuntu is very poor and search results are pretty terrible so I have had my own brand of troubles in a similar vein and found using 'apt-cache search' a much superior tool.
