24bit RGB color , without VESA

Post by hrm »

Hello , I'm trying to reach to the true color mode at long mode. how can I reach that without VESA?
I know that VESA does not work at 64bit mode (is it true?) :roll:

You have emulators to cover the VESA case where V8086 is not available.

Otherwise, resort to UEFI or writing native drivers.
