INT 10 - VESA(Video Electronics Standards Association) An industry group which sets both hardware and software standards and recommendations. The term VESA is also used to denote compliance with the VESA SuperVGA BIOS Extensions, a standard set of video BIOS functions for accessing video modes of higher resolution than those defined by IBMInternational Busiuness Machines. SuperVGA BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. - GET CURRENT VIDEO MODE AX = 4F03h Return: AL = 4Fh if function supported AH = status 00h successful BX = video mode (see #00083,#00084) bit 13: VBE(VESA BIOS Extensions) The common software interface for video cards providing support for high resolution and bit depth./AF v1.0P accelerated video mode bit 14: linear frame buffer enabled (VBE(VESA BIOS Extensions) The common software interface for video cards providing support for high resolution and bit depth. v2.0+) bit 15: don't clear video memory 01h failed SeeAlso: AH=0Fh,AX=4E04h,AX=4F02h
