Go here, get the blob:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
Download to your home directory.
Enable f-lock, Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, "sudo service lightdm stop" to
kill the desktop, "sudo sh `ls ati*`", walk through it, reboot.
After reboot just go into system/properties in the ATI application and
configure the display like windoze there.
Google "ati driver linux install" for more detail. You can make
packages as well that are more apt-friendly to update, but not sure mint
is supported like ubuntu.

lspci says this about the video:
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9804
'X.org video driver' is the only information I can find about the video
driver

Drivers probably aren't working right and probing the right
resolutions from the display. Check your drivers in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. What kind of video is
it? If ati/nvidia, you'll want to install the proprietary blob
drivers to get any level of performance and features.

I was playing a game and after I closed the game the screen was

googled
'linux mint 12 screen stretch' But that didn't tell me anything...
Then I figured I would restart it and see if that would fix
it and
it did. Any idea how I can fix it without the restart?
