ok can someone give me a list of instructions on how to install a driver for this graphics card so the resolution doesn't suck. i also can't figure out how to install the file once it is downloaded.

What type of file is it?

In the terminal, navigate to where the file is and type "./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run"

I haven't used a .run file in ages, but I'm pretty sure thats how you do it.

As root, sh /path/to/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run. You may need to kill X first with ctrl+alt+backspace. If you are using Gnome on Debian or Ubuntu do /etc/init.d/gdm stop. KDE would be /etc/init.d/kdm stop.
