you apparently have XFree86 4.3 and the fglrx driver meant for 4.3,
and there's already a libGL.so.1.2 installed.

I'd try "--force"ing the rpm install.

rpm --force -Uhv fglrx-4.3...etc....rpm

doesn't the fglrx installation instructions say something about this?
or am I mistakenly recalling seeing something about this in the ATI FAQs/Support?

enjoy!

You need to make sure you un-install all ATI kernels first
They are installed by default w/ Mandrake10
Also remove the fglrx
Then you good to go.
