Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24348 Before (data flag ignored -> broken): 66 DATA: e944f1 JMP 1ff6 After (fixed): 66 DATA: e944f1ffff JMP 00001ff8 This subtle difference in the length of decoded instruction meant that the VBE call jumped to the routine setting AX=0x14F (VBE Failed) instead of the routine that set AX=0x4F (VBE success). The ability to run the same code in vm86 significantly aided the debugging of this issue. Those X.org developers who would like to drop vm86 better take special care towards _all_ vesa bugs, as those will expose further issues. Patch applies easily to even xserver 1.4.2.

X Server The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into. Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders. For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Please submit bug reports to the Xorg bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg The master development code repository can be found at: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver For patch submission instructions, see: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches For more information on the git code manager, see: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage
