************************
************************Key features :
...
256color(8bit), 16bit, 24bit, 32bit truecolor modes support.
From 320x200x8bit to every resolution which your videocard's BIOS supports.

i cannnot add support for modes which are not supported in VideoBIOS modetable.
sorry, this is by design.

Is there a tool to see which ones are which? Or a list?
Could something like this:
http://en.opensuse.o..._the_Video_BIOS
http://perso.orange.fr/apoirier/
be ported to the "Win32" environment?
Of course separately, so that it won't touch the "universal" nature of the driver.
(pardon me, just a field in which I'm a total newbie)

correctly works in DOS only. For Windows users i include a bootable floppy with this test.

Is this test inside your driver and suggests only the possible modes?My 'infovbe' test written by me http://www.navozhden....ru/infovbe.zip
...
If yes, I think we do not have a (currently known ) chance ... , again and thnx to Bill.

no. this InfoVBE utility shows BIOS mode-tables and only modes listed by it can be used in my VBEMP driver. It is a separate program. I made it only for getting video tables info for developing my driver, especially for "Manual" VBEMP version.Is this test inside your driver and suggests only the possible modes?
thnx NOT to Bill but to some dumb manufacturers or lazy programmers? (like S3, CirrusLogic, Trident, Matrox, Tseng .... and ATI) which are not included some needed modes and features in VideoBIOS code and using old VBE 2.0/VBE1.x BIOS calls.thnx to Bill.
Only 3dfx/nVidia/Intel cards /starting from 810/815G family/ contains correct VESA BIOS EXTENSIONS 3.0 (VBE30) founded long ago in 1998 which correctly support refresh rate switching and other needed features.
ATI waits about 7-8 years!!! after 1998 year before them finaly include VBE30 support in thier BIOS'es.
These ATI BIOS'es also mentioned as an ATI ATOMBIOS family and these card have DECLARED VBE 3.0 support starting from Radeon X700 Series. But these adapters only DECLARED support of VBE 3.0 in their BIOSes. So you may assume that ATI(AMD) cards with
VBE 3.0 support never arrived at all.
nVidia GeForce 5xxx and later cards also has fake VBE 3.0 BIOSes. Newer Matrox cards can VBE 3.0.
