The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has created a
standard for a Super VGA BIOS Extension (VBE). This defines a
standard software interface to allow application programs to set and
control extended video modes, such as 800x600 graphics, on video
adapters from different manufacturers.
The VESA driver adds this Super VGA BIOS Extension to the VGA
BIOS. Any application program which supports the VESA standard
driver interface can be used with this driver. This VESA driver conforms
to the VESA Super VGA Standard #VS891001.
Step 1: Place the display driver diskette into drive A. Make A the default
drive by typing A: <ENTER>. Run the SETUP program by typing
SETUP <ENTER>. Press any key to display a list of supported applica-
tions. Use the arrow keys to select VESA Driver Version 1.2 and press
<ENTER>. Press the <ENTER> key to select All Resolutions, and press
<END> to begin the installation. A default drive and directory path will
be displayed. Use the backspace key to erase this and type in a directory
that is in the directory path (such as C:\BIN or C:\UTILS). After the
files have been installed, press any key to return to the list of supported
applications. Press <ESC> followed by Y to exit to DOS.
Step 2: To install the VESA driver, type either VESA <ENTER> or
VESA + <ENTER> at the DOS prompt. The optional + command line
parameter enables all of the available modes. Make sure that your
monitor is capable of displaying these high resolution modes before
enabling them.
NOTE: If the video BIOS already supports VBE extended video modes,
DO NOT use this driver. Run the VTEST.EXE program to see if the
video BIOS supports the VBE modes.
