There are 2 different version strings: the driver itself and the Catalyst package as a whole. On the site you'll pretty much only find the Catalyst version, but naturally the system will usually give you the driver version.
Atm the only thing open source drivers do not have is OpenGL 4.0, which is used only by one or two Linux games (Metro Last Light and something else). RadeonSI (open source driver for 7000 series and up) has Opengl 3.3 support. However Opengl 4.0 should be out later this year (when it is relevant).
In terminal:
1. Remove fglrx
2. Install Oibaf PPA
3. Since there is no CCC for open source drivers, to change something like refresh rate, just use xrandr or xorg.conf (google it)
I guess you did something wrong. Did you had your system up to date before executing those commands? Which version of Ubuntu do you have?
Those drivers work with your card just fine.
Yes, but it works better with 7000 series than Catalyst for many people.
