It looks like this is the official driver for it:
ATI Catalyst™ 8.12 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver
...according to these release notes:

I've tried them, well i tried the option where it builds tgz for you.
But none of those tzg's worked, when i started kde, i just got black screen.
Should i try the normal installation? My concern is if it doesn't work its gonna be very difficult to clean after it.

I'd try the normal installation. Provided, it didn't work on this computer, due to my X server not liking the drivers, but it has a chance of working. You might also want to try the open-source ATI drivers, located here. They won't give you all the functionality of the official drivers, but they will work for basic applications and games. I use my computer for gaming and rendering, so I needed the advanced features, but unless you do, these drivers should work just fine for you.
