It works for me :)
There's the output from running it three times in a row from an xterm in XFree86-3.3.1 . Get the same output from the console.
I have a P100 w/ 48 meg of RAM and an Intel FX motherboard. Here's what /proc/cpuinfo has to say.
processor : 0 cpu : 586 model : Pentium 75+ vendor_id : GenuineIntel stepping : 6 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no sep_bug : no pentium_f00f_bug : yes fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid : yes wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 bogomips : 39.73
BTW this is from a fesh 2.1.63 kernel.
