In Microsoft Windows 95 the default "compatibility" display resolution was 640x480 using VESA standards. Later in Windows 98 the new lowest default was 800x600 using VESA standards. These "safe mode" display resolutions were a fallback if no video driver specific for the system video adapter was installed. These are the best known VESA display standards.In Microsoft Windows 95 the default "compatibility" display resolution was 640x480 using VESA standards.

These games largely did not support the vast array of proprietary video drivers available with some exceptions. The VESA mode drivers allowed gamers to display the best possible resolution and color depth for a wide array of video cards. Game developers were able to simply video card support by using VESA standards.Color depth of up to 24-bit are possible using DOS Super VGA VESA standard modes in MS-DOS. Most of the modern videocards comes with a VBE2-Bios or a VBE3-Bios and with an own modetable of vbe modenumbers maybe with a resolutions up to 2048x1536 pixel and with 8, 15 or 16, 24 or 32 bits per pixel and with a aspect ratio of 4:3, 4:5, 16:9 and 16x10.SuperVGA programming uses screen data that can exceed 1 MB in size. However, the normal VGA card only offers a 64k memory access at A000h (some cards provide 128k). [[Category:Computer Technology]]
