Fix floating precision bug

When calculating coordinates we should multiply at first otherwise
we lose precision when i3 is compiled without sse2 support.

The following code prints "Res1: 348 Res2: 349" when compiled with
-O0 -mno-sse2 and "Res1: 349 Res2: 349" with -O0 -msee2.

Note that -msse2 is default flag on 64bit OSes.

int main() {
  double a = 349.0 / 768;
  double b = 349.0 * 768;
  int res1 = a * 768;
  int res2 = b / 768;
  printf("Res1: %d Res2: %d\n", res1, res2);
  return 0;
}

Thanks guys for helping me to hunt down this one.
