Which version of Xorg are you running? ("Xorg -version" will tell you.)
Your card should be supported by the i810 driver of Xorg 7.0. (I am not
100% sure, though: The package description states that the i945 series
is supported, while the manpage only lists cards up to i915GM.) You
could always try to run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and select the
"i810" driver. (We first have to see if the driver works with the card
at all, then we can talk about activating direct rendering.)
To help you with the wireless card, we need to know the exact model. As
Christopher has already pointed out, you should run "lspci" and post the
part of the output that is related to the wireless network card.
