Hello Avi,

I'm having also problems with this patch:
# VGA bank switching problems under DOS
git checkout 682a3c07f0e28d2532c911a44a9b6142d6299cc2

# OK
git checkout aad3b517a1b83561f2755dc4451596a421399c19

And commit 682a3c07f0e28d2532c911a44a9b6142d6299cc2 is the Merge commit 
'c5705a7728b4a6bc9e4f2d35911adbaf28042b25' into upstream-merge.

Thnx.

Ciao,
Gerhard
