I would get internet working first --
Blacklist bcm43xx driver, then use ndiswrapper with your Windows drivers

Then Saist's guide should get the ATI driver working for you.

Beryl Works WIth the radeon Driver

The radeon driver should have been installed by default. It provides 3D with compositing. It fglrx driver does not support compositing. You must use the radeon driver if you want to run Beryl.
To properly install the fglrx driver (but no Beryl!) you should install it with the MEPIS XConfig Assistant.

in the system menu (in the panel), you will find a number of MEPIS assistants. Use MEPIS X windows assistant, click tab ATI and choose fglrx. Click apply and wait for install to complete. When done, logout and press Ctrl-backspace to restart X server (the Linux graphical environment). Login again, but first click session and choose KDE 3d. Things should work now....
