Does anyone know were I can get some good info on VESA? Also, can I use it in PMode?

Thanks in advance,

I know that the VESA bios calls can be made from protected mode (as in linux svgalib), but my experience is limited to real mode.

Hi,

VESA 2.0 (and 3.0 ofcourse) has a Protected Mode Interface (using far calls instead of interrupts)

VESA 2.0 is well documented. Try a search on Google to get the official specs.

Thanks for the info and links. I'm I correct that Windows doesn't use VESA ???.

I guess if the OP ever returns to this forum, he will certainly be happy to find an answer to his question after nearly 9.5 years...

It's a good link though, so thanks. Strange site though - chop the address off after the .com and you just get a blinking monster with no way past it to anything useful.
