Modern Generic SVGA driver for Windows 3.1. Contribute to PluMGMK/vbesvga.drv development by creating an account on GitHub.
This is a rewrite of the Windows 3.1 SVGA driver, designed to support ALL available 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit graphic modes on any system providing the VESA BIOS Extensions(hence the VBE in the name). In theory, as per Page 21 of the spec, the driver should search the segment C000h for a structure beginning with the signature PMID and ending with a valid checksum to determine whether or not this interface is supported. When using a linear framebuffer, the driver also attempts to use Double Buffering, which improves performance by ensuring that GDI operations never have to touch video RAM directly.
