That device is no longer supported by fglrx. The good news is that it is
perfectly supported by the builtin Radeon driver, including 3D
acceleration, so I don't see why you would want to install fglrx in the
first place.
You complained in a previous mail about desktop effects being slow, well
that's kinda to be expected, your card is not quite the newest
generation. :-) I don't think the driver is at fault there. You can try
enabling desktop effects, but disabling most effects, especially the
GPU-intensive ones (hint: the more an effect moves things around, the more
likely it is to eat GPU power - keep away from stuff like "wobbly
windows").
