i've noticed another strange reaction,

today i tested a little assembly program which changes the color palette
in 8bpp mode, but it doesn't seem to work, the palette entries stay the
same with or without change, but after the syscall bit31 in eax isn't set,
this means the syscalls was sucessful.

On another computer with cirrus Logic 5464 Chipset and KGI Module the
program works fine.
