Trying to setup the drivers for my ATI card cant seem to get it to work. any help or direction would be greatly appretiated. i get the following error message when installing the .RPM "installation failed:

file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx-4.3.0-3.11.1 conflicts with file from package libxfree86-4.3-32.1.100mdk"

you apparently have XFree86 4.3 and the fglrx driver meant for 4.3,

and there's already a libGL.so.1.2 installed.

 

I'd try "--force"ing the rpm install.

 

rpm --force -Uhv fglrx-4.3...etc....rpm

 

doesn't the fglrx installation instructions say something about this?

or am I mistakenly recalling seeing something about this in the ATI FAQs/Support?

 

enjoy!

You need to make sure you un-install all ATI kernels first

They are installed by default w/ Mandrake10

Also remove the fglrx

Then you good to go.
