when i try to install the driver the there is an error message pops up saying that the file/usr/x11r6/lib/libgl.so.1.2. from install of fglrx-glc22-4.2.0-2.5.1 conflicts with file from package xfree86-libs-4.3-5mdk

any ideas ?

Hmmm

Is there any chance of setting up urpmi to an FTP mirror with your ATI driver in it?

I'll poke around, let me know if I'm wasting my time looking...

Cool

ftp://ftp.orst.edu/pub/mandrake/9.1/...-2mdk.i586.rpm
