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.
