Mandrake 9.2 ATI 7500 All-In-Wonder

I downloaded and installed Mandrake 9.2(3 ISO's).  It installed without any problems.  XP and Mandrake are on the same drive but in separate partitions.  Mandrake's boot loader, loads either OS well.
 
SITUATION: I have and ATI 7500 All-In-Wonder that works well on in XP,

PROBLEM: When I boot into Mandrake, the x-windows servers does not load.  In other words, I can get to the command line (and successfully log in).  No graphics.

QUESTION:  I assume that Mandrake does not have an ATI driver in the downloaded ISO's.  Is there a solution to this?

OK I'll give the suggestions a try.  Sorry about not getting back sooner but yahoo delivered your emails to my 'bulk' mailbox.  I usually don't look in it but I will for this session.
