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.
