The following talbe shows the modes supported by the Cirrus Logic Chip sets. VESA Mode Resolution Colors Mode --------- ---------- ------ -------- 0x6A 800 x 600 16 Graphics 0x102 800 x 600 16 Graphics 0x108 80 x 60 16 Text 0x109 132 x 25 16 Text 0x10B 132 x 50 16 Text 0x10C 132 x 60 16 Text About the VESA Test Program --------------------------- The Cirrus Logic VESA Driver test program exercises the VESA Driver by making function calls into the driver and displaying the results. The test program exercises VESA functions 0 through 7 as described in the VESA Super VGA BIOS Extention Standard #VS900602. This document may be requested directly from the VESA office (408) 971-7525. If the VESA Test Program is run on a flat panel, all modes should return a failure code except VESA Mode 0x108, this is the only mode that will correctly run on the flat panel. Note that in order for the test to run correctly, the Monitor Parameter Utility that will support all the modes must be loaded.
