I continue to have problems with a flashing Dell
flat panel monitor. After trying various modelines failed to improve
anything, and the fact that the problem exists in the console, not just X, I
decided to try the proprietary ATI driver. It reportedly fixes some
flashing screen problems.
I downloaded the driver rpm and then installed
alien. Alien made a deb package, and then I tried to install with dpkg,
with this error:
Luke:~# dpkg -i
fglrx-4-3-0_8.10.19-2_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package fglrx-4-3-0. (Reading database ... 97993 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking fglrx-4-3-0 (from fglrx-4-3-0_8.10.19-2_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing fglrx-4-3-0_8.10.19-2_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_8.10.19-2_i386.deb Luke:~# I'm a newbie!! What do I do next? I
don't want to screw up my overall package management!
Thanks - John
