Can't get ATI drivers to work from the RPM file, need help
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to linux and I heard that knoppix is an easy distro to work with. I've got an ATI Radeon 9000 (128MB version) and downloaded the nicely packaged RPM off of ATI's website for the driver update. I tried installing it with kpackage and this is the error I got:
<home/dweeb/fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm';echo RESULT=$?
rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See README.Debian.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
RESULT=1
Installing from the command line returns the same error. I tried using alien to build a .deb package, but that doesn't work either. The command alien -d fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.i386.rpm (thats the name of the file from ATI's website) builds the debian package, but when I try to install it with alien -i fglrx_4.3.0-4.14_i386.deb, it returns this error:
root@KnopBox:/home/dweeb# alien -i fglrx_4.3.0-4.14_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing fglrx_4.3.0-4.14_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2', which is also in package xlibmesa-gl
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
fglrx_4.3.0-4.14_i386.deb
Any ideas guys? I could use the help.
-Thanks
