The mplayer patch is to make it use LDT_AUTO_ALLOC. The ldt fiddling code (taken from wine) doesn't use LDT_AUTO_ALLOC, so I had to make it use it. See if you can patch wine to use LDT_AUTO_ALLOC; it shouldn't be calling i386_set_ldt() any other way. BTW, you only get the first 10 occurrences of static ldt allocation warnings from the kernel. It stops printing them after 10. > Oh, just for reference, neither of the machines in question are using the > nvidia driver. Good. -- Dan Eischen
