absolutely not. they are deep, pervasive changes in the kernel code.

this is the problem with using h/w with only closed source patches.

you need the CCRMA kernel, which you don't have to compile, then you ned
to get the ATI driver and compile it against the CCRMA kernel.

the same problem exists for nvidia, btw.
