In 1991, VESA released VBE version 1.2, which was mostly compatible with the previous 1.0 and 1.1 but had more popularity.
Note that UEFI GOP has succeeded VESA BIOS Extensions, but UEFI implementations also have a legacy VESA-compaitble BIOS for backwards-compatibility.Īnyway let's have a little history lesson. But I think it's safe to say that 99% of PCs built since the late 1990's have VESA support. Like the name implies, it is an optional BIOS extension.
They are the people who made the VBE, or the VESA BIOS Extensions Standard. So anyway, VESA is the Video Electronics Standard Association. That means that in less than 30 minutes, you'll be able to have a high-color graphics world in your OS! Today, I'm posting specifically to teach people who want graphics all about VESA.
