First, AMD retired support for that particular line-up of chips back in 2009. The last driver that was released for the x1x00 series was the 9-3 driver in March of 2009.
Second, laptop vendors have a reputation of NOT keeping their drivers up to date, and/or shipping drivers that have stripped feature-sets. AMD does offer a Catalyst Mobility program for laptops today, but you have to be running either a *nix or NT6+, and have a RadeonHD graphics card or newer.
Your laptop is simply too old.
The 9-3 driver, by and large, works with City of Heroes using the non-Ultra Mode rendering features. You should be able to use the Mobility Modder tool and the 9-3 installation package to install the 9-3 driver on your laptop:
