Abstract: |
This standard defines a set of extensions to the VGA ROM BIOS
services. These functions can be accessed under DOS through
interrupt 10h, or be called directly by high performance 32-bit
applications and operating systems other than DOS. These
extensions also provide a hardware-independent mechanism to obtain
vendor information, and serve as an extensible foundation for OEMs
and VESA to facilitate rapid software support of emerging hardware
technology without sacrificing backward compatibility. |
