This repository provides AMD Catalyst Lagacy 13.1 (fglrx 8.97.100.7) drivers for Radeon HD 2xxx - 4xxx for Ubuntu:
12.04 Precise Pangolin
12.10 Quantal Quetzal
13.04 Raring Ringtail
If you are using Ubuntu 12.04.2 make sure you got linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal package installed.
If you are using Ubuntu 13.04 the driver might not work very well with Unity. If that the case please consider resetting Unity configuration to default or use other DE.
To use Catalyst Legacy 13.1 you need to do following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy
And restart your computer.

From the link for the driver install on ubuntu is the 13.4 for what I assume is for the 13.4 drivers, which is for the newer cards.
I would guess that installation is the same, although I don't want to do end up messing it up again.
