Hello,
It's written that vesa 2.0 modes are supported, though when I ran a few programs I wrote a long while back, I got my "VBE 2.0 Support not present" error printed.
After I made it print the actual version number, I was shocked to see it was set on 1.2 (?), How can that be if it should suppot 2.0?
Demon.
Internally just VESA 1.2 is supported, use UNIVBE to get 2.0.
And once more: search is your friend! VESA was discussed here before...

Hey Mirek,
You're right, I should've searched before posting.
So, Thanks for the reply.

dosbox only returns vesa ver2.0 if the input buffer
contains the VBE2 string at the beginning, otherwise
the version-fileld gets 1.2.
i think this behavior is wrong (it should always be 2.0
if the support is 2.0), i tested it with several programs
and vesa configs (vbe docs state this, too).
if you want to correct it, you find the information in
int10_vesa.cpp, VESA_GetSVGAInformation.
> though when I ran a few programs I wrote a long while back
afaict many vbe2.0 functions are implemented (second
palette data isn't), so maybe your program runs even
without univbe. if you still have your sources, you can
try to disable your vbe2.0-check.

I wrote a program using VBE 3.0 some years ago and was hoping that DosBox would allow it to run in an XP environment. The good news is that is does run, the bad news is that graphics (that the program draws pixel by pixel) do not render properly. Seems to be a problem setting the palette.
Please advise.
It's 2004 again?. OMG.
