Congratulations, this card should work fine with the free "radeon"
driver, even in 3D. However, the last time I tried the proprietary
"fglrx" driver, it messed with the system (IIRC installing some
proprietary version of a library in place of the free version) and it
required a bit of work to get the system back to the state where the
free driver would work.
