are you getting compiz? the best way to install video drivers is to use envy, apps>system tools>envy, does everything for you, and the drivers that that downloads are updated through the normal ubuntu updates, but the restricted drivers update from there too. about the resolution, are you sure that your monitor is 1280x1024?

i highly suggest using either the hardware drivers applet or envy. i wrote that howto but its is severly broken at the moment. i been trying to figure out the problem for almost 2 months now but havent had any luck. the build fails every time. there is something wrong with the packaging scripts.

the reason why you didnt see that file mentioned explicitly though is because ati issues a new driver ever month. and every month the file name is different.

however if you always want the newest that you can get. i would use envy. the ones avaliable through hardware drivers are almost nvr the latest ones. ubuntu has a very bad habit of only updating them when they (ubuntu) drop a new release.
