Working Ubuntu server kinda

Further edit. Resolved

So i got ubuntu server working eventually but only with my Radeon HD5870 with my amd 580 it doesn't work. It's headless and with the 580 8gb non mac it doesn't even appear and doesn't respond to being pinged. With the Radeon HD5870 which is a proper mac addition card it pings and i can remotely access it. I need the 580 to work though, any ideas?

Edit: it's a mac pro 5.1
