Hi smithveg,

I have a Radeon 9250 too, which I bought new 6 months ago.

I didn't have to do anything whatsoever to get it working. 
Just install Ubuntu as normal and it will work.

I am not sure to understand the problem you described at the start of
your e-mail. No, you don't have to install XFree86. Ubuntu doesn't use
XFree86, it uses X.org instead. 
It is possible that X.org was not installed, though, depending which way
you installed Ubuntu ('server' install for example).
How exactly did you proceed to install Ubuntu ? Did you download it
from the Ubuntu website, if so can you tell us the exact file name of
the ISO you grabbed ? What version of Ubuntu did you install (6.06,
5.10, Edgy ?) exactly ?
