[SOLVED] HOW to install CATALYST drivers?

I decided that its time for me to install some catalyst drivers for my ATI RADEON 3200 card, I've found them in AUR, after I made a package I tried to install but this is what I saw:

pacman -U catalyst-utils-11.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: catalyst-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2

My libgl was 7.10.2-2 version, so it should be ok, but why pacman says its in conflict and then it says that this package is needed? lol! this is very amusing to say the least.

You should remove ati-dri too, it's not required for catalyst drivers. Also I think it makes sense to install catalyst-hook in order to automatically rebuild kernel module after update.

I followed these instructions for the stock kernel:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst

Had to remove ati-dri xf86-video-ati and libgl

It may be worth printing the page first, I have successfully
installed, so hope you can too.
