The ATI kernel modules reportedly use the syscall() facility to call modify_ldt, which I guess is not exported... I've received the report of this because that causes a name conflict with the SKAS patch I maintain. Also, I have the doubt is that they're circumventing EXPORT_SYMBOL restrictions and thus violating the license.
