Actually are you using the 5.0 alpha? It actually shouldn't work with the command. Versions 4.5 and below don't have icecat in them (unless you add an external PPA). You would have to have your friend add the ppa for icecat if he isn't using the 5.0 alpha.

It should be added, that the drivers for 3D support are there, they just require the binary firmware to be loaded at runtime to execute some functions (like 3D rendering). AMD does not want to make that firmware open source. An AMD/ATI official stated in a forum that this is due to their DRM.
