Mandrake 9.2 is more polished

There are almost no differences between 9.1 and 9.2. I noticed that in 9.2 the fonts were a bit better than 9.1. Also the system reponds a notch better than 9.1.

I added the cooker repository and installed kernel 2.6test5, when booting up it reconfigured my mouse (I have the Logitech MX-700 USB). Other than that it was painless ;)

I have an ATI Radeon 8500LE with TV-Out. MDK 9.2 comes with the binary driver from ATI --> fglrx. My problem is that I still can't get TV-Out to work and also if my video card is connected to my TV while booting, the X Server does not start ;) I heard that this was an issue with the video cards' bios, can anyone confirm this?

I downloaded the latest ATI drivers (from the ATI website), ran the config util, but it put garbage on my XF86Config-4 file, did anyone else experience this?

After restoring my XF86Config-4 file I installed the gatos rpm but I am not sure how to use it? Basicaly my question is how do I get TV-Out working with a ATI Radeon 8500LE?
