Hi folks,

I want to install a new graphics driver for my ATI Radeon 9600.
But when I try to install the Driver provided by the ATI support site (fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm converted to a .deb file with alien) kpackage complains about libGL.so.1.2 that is also in xlibmesa-gl.

So I decided to uninstall xlibmesa-gl because I thougt it is not needed and the ATI driver will provide its own libGL. But kpackage (I also tried synaptic) lists up a lot of packages (~400MB) that have to be deinstalled.

A lot of these packages should IMHO not be related to openGL (ex.: kedit!). How can that be - and how can I deinstall just that mesa-GL library? (without wiping nearly the whole system

Or is there another way installing that driver?

My system:
- Intel P4 3.06GHz, 512MB
- ATI Radeon 9600, 128 MB
- 60GB
- Knoppix HD-Installation (debian-style)

thank you very much,
Padautz
