2.2 Installing the driver using the rpm utility program
-------------------------------------------------------
Download the rpm that fits to your system and store the package
to a temporary folder where you can create, delete, and modify files
and directories. You'll need at least 5 MB of diskspace available.
Get super user (root) privileges and change (cd) to this directory.
Start the rpm program:
rpm -Uhv <package_name>.rpm
In case you do spot any problems try this command line:
rpm -i --force <ati_package_name>.rpm
...
Note for RedHat
8.0 users:
...
- Force RPM to use the replacement file of the ATI driver package:
rpm -i --force <ati_package_name>.rpm
NOTE: This includes overriding the rpm warning
or
- Remove the existing libGL installation and then install the new libGL
with the ATI driver installation.
For example:
rpm -e --nodeps XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.2.0-72
rpm -Uhv <ati_package_name>.rpm
Not intended for RedHat 9.0, you will notice.
