Remove the XFree86 package: "rpm -e XFree86-Mesa-libGL", as the Mesa
libGL will to be replaced by the ATI HW-based libGL.

In fact, the ATI rpm should probably have an "Obsoletes: XFree86-Mesa-libGL",
but as third-party vendors try to build packages for allLinux distros *and*
they usually don't know much about proper packaging (what the ATI rpm does
in it pre/post-(un)install scripts is too ugly to talk about, this is not
done :-(.
