Just use the in-kernel free drivers. They have improved immensely the past few years. The Radeon HD 5870 is called 'Evergreen', you can check out the feature support here:

In my experience the free drivers have slightly slower 3d performance and much faster 2d performance.
- tribaal 13y agoThat matrix is impressively green! Thanks for sharing.
- gtaylor 13y agoAs mentioned in the initial comment, this isn't an option for me.
- dmm 13y agoI don't see that mentioned.
- VMG 13y agoStill hit and miss though. Bought a laptop that even had somewhat decent 3d acceleration, but would horribly lag on 2d terminal output. Returned it and been using Intel and Nvidia exclusively now - no problems whatsoever.
