Hi to all,
I am having some difficulties setting VBE in my kernel.
Firstly,i do not want to do it with grub since i already have designed my own bootloader (very cute).
Secondly i want to do it in protected mode without going through adding an x86 virtual machine.
Can someone provide me with concrete tutorials or some nice documented source code?
Thanks

Hi,

To activate VESA, you need to do it in either real mode before you enter your kernel or v86 mode at any time. What's wrong with setting the mode in your boot loader?

Cheers,
Adam
