[Solved] Is BGA GUI compatible with VBE?

Post by Octacone »

Hello mighty programmers!
I want to enter BGA mode and make some GUI (need it for further feature testing). Now, could my code GUI code be executable by VBE once I make a switch to VBE?

VBE does not execute your code. :twisted:

As long as your BGA and VBE drivers provide access to the frame buffer with a common interface, your GUI won't need to know or care which one it's using.
