+===========================================================
+FGLRX does not work on a 64/32 mix architecture (i386 with an amd64 kernel).
+Upstream does not support it and we also do not want to.
+It is possible to patch the module so that it builds on 64/32, but it fails
+to work *at all*. This has been acknowledged by AMD.
