VESA + LFB + Page Flipping

Post by arabasso »

I am writing a basic VESA driver for access high-resolution modes (For this, I created a V86 Monitor, I get all the modes supported videos, etc.). So far is good...

By setting a video mode, I get LFB address, and then start to print the pixels on the screen. To improve the visual aspect, create a backbuffer, and then the copy for the frontbuffer using MMX and SSE instructions (if present). I Would like to test using VESA Page Flipping, but found nothing about it.

After all, there is Page Flipping in LFB VESA mode?
