I'm trying to install the ati radeon drivers but im getting this error when i try to do:

# rpm -i fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm

it gives me this error:

file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1 conflicts with file from package xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.1-12.FC3.21

When I try to remove the conlicting package first it tells me that a bunch of other programs depend on it and I can't remove it. Any ideas?

Use the --force, Luke.

# rpm -ivh --force fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm

I believe this is mentioned in some ATI doc somewhere.

Now, if someone knows what I should do to compile fglrx for the latest 2.6.11 kernel from FC3Test, then I'd be eternally grateful.
