graphics drivers

ok, right off the bat im going to say this, i know that there is about over 100 links on google for this, just none of them help me. i have a radeon mobility 7500 graphics card. and i want to enable the compiz effects via Administration/preferences/Appearance. the problem is that i can't get the drivers i need to do this. i once had the effects working on this box, but then i messed the hard drive via cfdisk when installing a new OS and i lost that OS. (reference: im using Ubuntu Hardy) so i no it is possible, i just can't remember what i did to get them working. im adding the output i get from lspci -v -v

Code:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: IBM Unknown device 0530
	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping+ SERR+ FastB2B+
	Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 66 (2000ns min), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
	Region 0: Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
	Region 1: I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]
	Region 2: Memory at c0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
	[virtual] Expansion ROM at c0120000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>

so do i need to get drivers. if so, ill need some help getting them. all docs are for Gusty and the drivers on ati.com are for 9500 or higher. or is there something else i can do besides getting drivers?

NAME
QGfxDriverPlugin - Abstract base for Qt/Embedded graphics driver plugins SYNOPSIS
#include <qgfxdriverplugin_qws.h> Public Members QGfxDriverPlugin () ~QGfxDriverPlugin () virtual QStringList keys () const = 0 virtual QScreen * create ( const QString & driver, int displayId ) = 0 DESCRIPTION
The QGfxDriverPlugin class provides an abstract base for Qt/Embedded graphics driver plugins. The graphics driver plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom graphics drivers. Writing a graphics driver plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions keys() and create(), and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. See the Plugins documentation for details. This class is only available in Qt/Embedded. See also Plugins. MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QGfxDriverPlugin::QGfxDriverPlugin () Constructs a graphics driver plugin. This is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. QGfxDriverPlugin::~QGfxDriverPlugin () Destroys the graphics driver plugin. You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used. QScreen * QGfxDriverPlugin::create ( const QString & driver, int displayId ) [pure virtual] Creates a driver matching the type specified by driver, that will use display displayId. See also keys(). QStringList QGfxDriverPlugin::keys () const [pure virtual] Returns the list of graphics drivers this plugin supports. See also create(). SEE ALSO
