What? Even on linux?
What about using opensource drivers? You won't get working 3D on ati
though..

That's internal (old) numeration
4.3 - 8.471, 4.4 - 8.476, 4.5 - 8.493, 4.6 - 8.501, 4.7 - 8.512

You don't need javascript.. I always use wget. Like,
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run
(you can also use https)

If you forget the link, there is usually announcement about new driver
release at phoronix.com with direct link
