This is some old miscellaneous stuff.
as-simulate-i386
emulates selected newer i386 instructions,
namely cmov
, psadbw
and some SSE2 like
pmuludq
. It allows code using those instructions to be tested on
a chip which doesn't otherwise have them.

trident-1mb.diff
was a bit for
SVGAlib to recognise 1Mb of RAM in an old
Trident 8900B card (a fairly basic non-accelerated SVGA). It never got
accepted into the core, but give it a try if you've got one of these cards.
The problem was svgalib believing the card has 2Mb when it's only got 1Mb
(it's only got room for 1Mb). The symptom without the change is freaky
half-screen jumping in for instance the
gravitywars game (home page
gone?).
