You first need to make sure you're using the fglrx drivers and have them installed properly. You should be able to enable them with the 'restricted-manager' utility.
Then just follow the directions on this page:

You need to use the 'restricted-manager' to install the "ATI accelerated graphics driver".
Once you get that installed, you'll want to follow these directions to get beryl working:

I've never used the envy script so I can't really comment on it... Well, other than to say that numerous people have popped onto the irc channel with systems that are unusable after running the envy script.
