Normally there should be no need for installing extra drivers, because they should already be present on your system.

For diagnostic purposes please provide the output that you get for the following commands (to be executed in a terminal window):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo lshw -C display
xrandr -q

You have the dedicated radeon driver installed.
Is there anything wrong with your display, or why do you think that you need another one?

When I play video on VLC the video lags a lot and get hangs up also.
Plus after closing 1 or 2 softwares the screen get some kind of disturbances like unstable. Since I don't have the screen shot otherwise I would have shown you.
These are few reason why I want to install the drivers.

For further diagnostics, what is the output of the commands

dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

(if the last commands fails with command not found, install the related package with
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
and repeat the command)
