I was using:

rpm -i --force --allfiles --replacefiles xorg-****.rpm

Same with the kernel.

It's really strange, and I really don't understand what the ATI driver 
has done to my installation. I checked the insides of the fglrx rpm and 
there's nothing much that it replaces as you say, so it's beyond my 
knowledge...
