1. Enable fgrlx driver.
Install linux-restricted-modules and restricted-manager provied in the restricted repositories:

Open the restricted drivers manager in “System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager” and select “ATI accelerated graphics driver”.
2. Install xserver-xgl package

sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl
