------- Comment #7 from Stefan Kost (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev)  2008-02-25 12:00 UTC -------
I can confirm that it also works if I change the two occurances of
 __asm__ __volatile__ ("femms\n");
to
 __asm__ __volatile__ ("emms\n");

in xmmx.c.

I also filed a bug against liboil
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14662

Then also the check in goom is not enough. See
http://softpixel.com/~cwright/programming/simd/3dn.php

femms is 'faster emms' and it is part of 3dnow. My cpu does not have 3dnow. So
goom should either use emms or check for 3dnow as well.
