I have the same issue.
I am running a AMD/ATI RV620/M82 mobility
lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470]
As I could find out AMD has stopped the support of the chip so the new drivers wouldn't support the "old" card. Damn, the notebook is a litte more older than 3 years. Have I to switch my hardware every time a driver gets unavailable? I hate it really, the crap with the proprietary drivers... I do not play, do not use 3D but I need a fast desktop for work.
