I have an ATI Xpress 200 graphics card, it doesn't have support from AMD anymore so I can't upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10, but I found this driver on their site Driver Download. I know it doesn't support my graphics card but should I take the risk and install so I can upgrade to 12.10?

update: I have an issue with the reboot which finishes the upgrade. I press the reboot button and then my pc reboots: I see the bios, then my sreen turns purple and then black and my monitor says that it gets no signal and the hard drive led light stops flashing

With this card, use the open source radeon drivers, no installation is necessary, it is in the kernel.
