You should open an xterm and type this as root.

rpm -ivh <whatever the name of the rpm is>.rpm

If it still bitches you can type this...

rpm -ivh --force --nodeps <whatever the name of the rpm is>.rpm

This should work for you. Now as far as using their driver..haven't got
a clue. You should prolly follow the readme. :)

Cheers!

::The file ends with an .rpm suffix, but the package managers all report "fail
