Umm...looks like your mixing 32 and 16 bit operands here. Your count etc
is in 16 bit registers, and then your doing a 32 bit movs (movsl).
Shouldnt
your count then be in ecx? Your code should probably look something
like:
	asm volatile ("
		movl	$16000, %%ecx;
		cld;
		rep;
		movsl"
	etc etc
Also, to access the video memory this way, you have to make sure you
have
the nearptr flag enabled or some similar such thing. This is in the FAQ
if
you haven't done this already...

Same with this bit of code...
