== Symptom ==<br />
<br />
Kernel 2.6.21 (including) and up: the kernel module fglrx.ko will not be built ... and the ATI installer wont tell you, it has not.<br />
<br />
== Reason ==<br />
<br />
ATI kernel module has non-GPL License. Kernel build system has restricted the usage of some functions to GPL-only modules. So the kernel module won't be compile.<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
<br />
a) Go kick ATI to buld a GPL compatible kernel module.<br />
<br />
b) Modify the MODULE_LICENSE String in the kernel module to "GPL"<br />
<br />
<br />
