update

Hy, I just installed the ubuntu 11.04. After I restarted the PC I got a little notification that some drivers are missing, I click to activate the driver. So after the activation I can't use the unity. When in the preference page I click to the Ati catalyst control center I get the following error:

There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition.  
It could be caused by the following.

No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is 
not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, 
or configure using aticonfig.

My video card is ATI so I don't know what is the problem!?!
