the following patch was just integrated into master: commit a408915a1c9d323a0735778ab72a0842b82c9df5 Author: Stefan Reinauer reinauer@chromium.org Date: Thu Jul 26 15:48:17 2012 -0700
x86emu: fix jump_near_IMM to handle DATA: flag correctly
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.
