Maybe your video card has been deprecated by ATI-AMD, i got that it has
stopped supporting for some old cards, which is blamed by many people.
You can go downgrade or compile an older kernel yourself.
(Go ati.amd.com to see which is the oldest version of fglrx still
supported and compile a corresponding kernel.)

PS. my card is ATI Radeon HD4570
