Shane:

VESA is short for Video Electronics Standards Association.  Created in 1988
through the efforts of NEC to develop standards for initially hardware
problems; (timing differences and off-center images).

Eventually, VESA set software standards for 800x600 and 1024x768 video
resolutions.

Among their accomplishments(?) is the VESA Local Bus (VL Bus) standard.
Unfortunately, this standard was not approved until June of 1992.  As a
result, there are a number of motherboards destined for the "orphan"
market; in particular those chosing the OPTi design (proposed) and the
other by Intel, termed Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), unless
they come in line with the VL Bus standard (a VERY real possibility).

They have also developed a standard called the VESA Feature Connector.


Hope this helps...
