hey ScSiDaN, Use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, it should show your gpu, you have to check it (iirc) and click ok to download them.

In Software Sources enable all of the repositories if they aren't already enabled.

You need to login as root.
Also check Restricted drivers under System menu.
