I've just downgraded xorg because I was having problems with the recent upgrade, and its working fine now, but I can't install xf86-video-ati. I get the following error:

I'm installing xf86-video-ati-6.12.4-1 from http://arm.kh.nu/old/extra/os/i686/.
xorg-server version is 1.6.3.901-1.

Find out which installed package owns the conflicting files, and act accordingly.

From what I can see it looks like they are files from a previous xf86-video-ati installation, although I've no idea why they would be there since I removed it cleanly. I was thinking perhaps I should just force the install?

Forced the install, works fine now.
