VESA Driver, Version 1.0
The VESA driver conforms to the VESA Super VGA Standard
#VS891001 and supports the following resolutions:
❏ 800 x 600, 16-color graphics
❏ 1024 x 768, 16-color graphics
❏ 640 x 400, 256-color graphics
❏ 640 x 480, 256-color graphics.
If an application program offers a VESA standard option to
provide Super VGA resolutions, you must install this VESA
driver in order to use the option. You can select any of the
resolutions listed above from your application program options,
as long as your monitor is capable of displaying them.
When you install the VESA driver, you automatically install the
SETVESA and VTEST utilities. SETVESA sets the page size
and the number of pages for the VESA Super VGA modes.
VTEST runs a diagnostic test on the VESA drivers to make sure
they are operating properly. Follow the steps in the next section
to install the VESA driver and its utilities. Then see “Using
SETVESA” and “Using VTEST,” below, for instructions on
using the VESA utilities.
