VESA VBE/Core 2.0 is an extension of the VESA VBE 1.2 standard
(VBE = Video BIOS Extension).

S3 VBE/Core 2.0 is a TSR program, which installs a VESA VBE/Core 2.0
for S3 graphics cards with VESA VBE 1.2.


S3VBE20 /? shows a help screen.


S3 VBE/Core 2.0 needs a S3 graphics card (S3 928 or newer) with VESA
VBE version 1.2 or higher and at least 1 MB video memory to run.

The program doesn't check, if a S3 graphics card is present!

S3 VBE/Core 2.0 was designed to work with S3 928 chipsets.
It should work with newer S3 chipsets (Trio32, Trio64, Trio64V+,
Vision 864/964, Vision 868/968, Virge, Virge/VX, ...), too.

In linear frame buffer modes the frame buffer will be located at 48MB.

S3 VBE/Core 2.0 supports the following low resolution modes:
320x200x256, 320x240x256 and 320x400x256.

This release doesn't support graphics cards with more than 4 MB
video memory.  There is no VBE/Core 2.0 support for text modes,
4 bits/pixel modes and VBE mode 81FFh in this version, too.
