But it does not, see an strace at:

(vm86old function not implemented)

I can't get that working in any way. Trying an assembler syscall 166
the mplayer crashes, and trying with libc vm86() it always returns -1
(failure) with an errno of 14 (EFAULT / Bad address?) and mplayer exists
with VESA failer = 0x4fff. I tried various things, eg.
vm86(VM86_ENTER,&context.vm).

Does anyone with newer glibc:s get this working? And if, please tell
how so it can be fixed..
