I inlined my own div function.
Here it is, for your comments:

	typedef struct
	{
	  unsigned short quot;
	  unsigned short rem;
	} short_div_t;


	short_div_t short_div(unsigned short numberator, 
                              unsigned short denomonator)
	{
	  short_div_t short_div;
	  __asm__ __volatile__("
	    divw %%bx"
	  :"=a"(short_div.quot),"=d"(short_div.rem)
	  :"a"(numberator),"d"((unsigned short)0),"b"(denomonator)
	  :"ax","bx","dx"
	  );
	  return(short_div);
	}


Can I #define the inline asm command, instead of calling a real
function?
and does it worth my time?

when using the short_div, the whole thing runs a bit faaster, but not
nearly
enough(Bear in mind that I'm using _farns* functions on a double page
LFB,
it should be FASSST!).
But when I try to compile the file in order to profile it:

 	gcc -o ray.exe ray.c vesa64.c -O2 -ffast-math -pg

The running of the .exe is hanging my system!

With the same command, just without the -pg, it's fine!

I tried to profile without the optimizations, no difference, still
hanging.

Pressing Ctrl+C while the eternal black screen is on, does exit, and
does 
create a gmon.out file.
here it is, does it make sense?!?
