Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

After the last upgrade of my Lucid 10.04 i reboot. At start the video looks good, but after a while (at the login screen) the video start to flicker. The flicker is getting worse and worse till it's impossible to read anything.
I have tried to use vesa driver and the video is ok but very slow
I have tried to use xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd the video is better but it's very very slow.
My notebook has a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]

I have also tried fglrx but it doesn't work
