The 12864 LCD is completely passive, the display must be driven by the (properly configured) firmware in the Mega2560...

Ok, so you need to:
  1. download Marlin, install it in your Arduino sketchbook
  2. modify Marlin's file Configuration.h, at least you need to set MOTHERBOARD to 33 and uncomment the line defining REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER (not REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER, that would be for the non-graphic 2004 LCD)
  3. download the libraries needed for your LCD into sketchbook/libraries, [code.google.com] + maybe some others...
  4. compile and upload Marlin to your Mega2560 (resp. correct any problems that the Arduino compiler might complain about ... until success)
After that, you should at least be able to see the start page on the LCD...
