+Building modules on 32bit userland with 64bit kernel:
+=====================================================
+
+There is a way to build the fglrx Linux module with a 64bit kernel on 32bit
+userland, but we will not include it, because the X11 part of fglrx does not
+work it (not fixable).
+AMD developers acknowledged that it will never be supported (so it will never
+work).
+Since there is no sane way to conflict against such setups it should be enough
+to add those notes.
