VESA is the Video Electronics Standards Association. It is made up of companies that develop hardware and software that display information on a screen. Virtually every "big name" company (IBM, C&T, Autodesk, NEC, TI, Tseng, Trident, etc) is a VESA member. One of their standards is a Super VGA BIOS extension that defines common mode numbers for most of the resolutions we're likely to see in the near future. A piece of software that supports VESA modes need only know one mode number for something like 1024x768 with 16 colors non-interlaced. Most VGA board makers support the VESA modes through a TSR. VESA has other standards defined and still more in the works. You can contact VESA at: VESA 1330 South Bascom Ave, Suite D San Jose, CA 95128 (408) 971-7525 Also, please feel free to contact me for more information. Scott Wiesner Interactive Systems VESA Member
