Hmm.  Now I've got it running fglrx which is apparently the proprietary 
AMD Catalyst and synaptic says that it is 15.9 which is almost as new as 
the 15.12 at AMD.  Synaptic also confirms that the Deb repos are 
wheezy/7.  My understanding is that Deb 7 or 8 can run Catalyst but 
current Ub/Mint can't for some reason.

Usually when I boot such as Mint or Ub on that hardware it uses radeon 
driver.

Elive's boot parameters command is to blacklist radeon, radeonhd and 
some other popular video drivers.
