Under DOSBox 0.74, which video setting do I use for SVGA/VESA DOS programs, and what video modes are available to those settings?

It didn't work, but I found one that does work. Thank you, anyway!

That's probably one of the most unspecific replies ever.

Sorry about being so general. 🙁 The "svga_s3" video model doesn't support VESA modes in one of my DOS programs, but when I tried "svga_et4000", the VESA modes work.

svga_s3 is the only card emulation that provides VESA. So if et4000 works for your app it either uses SVGA or loads a custom VESA driver.
