ATI Radeon8500 drivers installation

[Stremik]

While trying to install a driver for Radeon8500 on my Linux box I'm getting this error
"file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx-glc22-4.2.2-2.5.1 conflicts with file from package XFree86-libs-4.2.0-8"
I've tried to install it via Gnome RPM when in gave me this warning. It also tells me that I can ignore this message and install the package anyway but when I do that, installation fails.
I've also tried to install it via command line, but after typing in this line "rpm -i <name of the file> (or "rpm -i --force <name of the file>")and pressing Enter nothing happens. The prompt just jumps to a next line and no indication of progress whatsoever.
All this is very strange since everything this driver needs to install and work is in place. I've downloaded Check.sh script and in diagnostics info it sayes that everything this driver needs is in correct versions and is in place.
Anyone?
Please?!

You should use the 'v' and 'h' rpm options for verify and hash marks. That way you will see the progress of the rpm package installation.

rpm -ivh packagename

or

rpm -Uvh packagename

man rpm

Same thing. Nothing happens!

For the fglrx-glc22 package?

Does

rpm -q fglrx-glc22

show it as being installed?

rpm -Uvh --force fglrx-glc22-4.2.2-2.5.1.i386.rpm

Is that what you used?

I still cannot get my ATI radeon 8500 (128MB version) to get going in SuSe, Lycoris, RH8. It is a bit frustrating... Since I'm a noob could someone give some step by step instructions!! Thanks all...

Stremik will be glad to help you or at least provide the links to the ATI driver installation docs.
