After following the steps above and re-installing a few times the ATI
driver is working for 2D/3D; however the function keys for brightness on
my notebook (Sony) are no longer working.  (They worked with Karmic +
ATI drivers)

>From dmesg:
[    8.403523] sony-laptop: brightness ignored, must be controlled by ACPI video driver

I forget the command but the notebook is seeing the fn+F5 and fn+F6
commands.

Also, issuing this works to dim the screen: echo 5 >
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
