SSE instruction (for Pentium III or 4) are only supported by 2.4
kernels, but vlc should detect if SSE instructions are ok for your
system. 3D Now! and MMX instructions should work on 2.2 kernels.

Could you please send to the mailing-list more informations about your
processor (cat /proc/cpuinfo) and your kernel options, for debugging
purpose, thanks.
