You can use ATI open-source driver, but You should completely remove fglrx
driver.
They have some overlapping files and fglrx driver replaces ati driver files.
So You should just do the followinf things:
1. sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
2. sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati
xserver-xorg-video-radeon
3. sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati

That's all. In my case it helped (ATI mobility radeon 9600)
Good luck.
