verification of rpm's installed
 

Hi, I recently tried to unpack a rpm for my video card, only using a vesa driver right now; I think, I tried to install it in a teriminal(gui) and not in the console (do I have those two mixed up?) anyway, I typed rpm -ivh /tmp/fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.rpm and I gave me quite a list of options and/or arguements(please correct which term I should use) but I selected nothing, confused. Anyway, I tried it again from tty1 and it told me - no suvh file or directory. How do I check if it was installed? Also is there some way to tell by the graphic for the rpm if its been opened? Thanks in advance.

Rpm's aren't removed on installing it, so it should be around.
rpm -qa|grep fglrx should return the package name if installed,
rpm -ql should return the contents of the package if installed (so you can search for them)

I resolved problem(didn't type i386 in filename), but have new problem, I forced the driver, but it said that it conflicts with libXXXXXcan't remember, but I think it is because I might not have the source installed? I don't believe it is on the disk though. MDK 9.2 download edition, I tried to download it from http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/9.2, but I don't quite understand the ftp site. If i click on the subdir it takes me in circles and can't find rpm. Does someone know the souce rpm name? How do I tell if its installed already which I doubt. Also after I forced that ati driver I looked at the xf86conf file and it still says vesa driver? Here is my conf file: Also after installing a driver to have to update some sort of list, like when you normally install rpm's?
