Talk:VESA BIOS Extensions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of these Linux mode numbers dont work using grub> vbeprobe prints says vbe 3.0 and a hole bunch of different mode numbers which then you add 0x200 to get the linux mode nuber and they clearly are different if these are wrong or OEM dependent then it useless having them -- 58.28.213.164 09:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Booting at high-resolution?

In Linux, you can use like vga=794 to boot at 1280x1024. Would it be possible for someone to make a BIOS that boots in 1280x1024 from the start, instead of the old 80x25 mode that still all computers boot today, even though its heritage from the first computers? -- Frap (talk) 19:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
