In arch/x86_64/ia32/ia32entry.S, both the vm86 calls (vm86 and vm86old) are stubbed to sys32_vm86_warning, which just printks "vm86 mode not supported on 64 bit kernel" and then returns -ENOSYS. This is moderately likely to bite people on X - the 32 bit packages will use vm86 to make VESA calls, and a surprising number of drivers use VESA calls. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
