Do you have a connection to the internet, DSL or faster? you could try 
updating your packages. You should have the repositories set up already, 
so just run

sudo apt-get update

and then

sudo apt-get upgrade

in the terminal window. This will install all the updates into your 
system. If nothing seems to happen, read the PS.

If even then you cannot login into kde, read this page:

and follow the steps in installing the ATI proprietary driver fglrx.

I have radeon 9200 card on my desktop computer, and Kubuntu recognized 
it fine. I was also able to get 3D and TV-out working by installing 
fglrx driver.

PS. How to setup repositories, if apt-get update does not work:
run
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
to see whether your internet sources are set up. Visit
http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kf1.html#swmgmt
to read more about software repositories, you have to have the 
repositories main, universe, restricted set up for update to work (you 
can also add multiverse for later use).
