(Get the code!)
After a lot of messing around I was finally able to fix this problem so I thought I'd share my solution. The AlwaysRestartServer patch didn't work for me so I tried installing the newest drivers (8.37.6) which I got from ATI's website. The drivers installed correctly but when I looked at dmesg it seemed like ubuntu kept loading the wrong version at startup. After a lot of searching I found the solution here:

In order to successfully replace the drivers you have to follow this rather complicated procedure which involves installing some extra helper packages, hand-tweaking some config files and other linux kernel voodoo. Unless you're a supreme linux guru you'll need those instructions.
