The Universal VESA BIOS driver, makes super VGA cards compatible with VESA BIOS Extension (VBE 2.0) programming standards so that games, CD-ROMs, utilities and other applications will work properly (and faster) in high resolution modes. It also includes chip detection, power management, monitor centering and compatibility & performance testing utilities. It now supports over 160 different SVGA chips (see list below). NOTE: VESA VBE is a software standard, so even if you have a PCI graphics card, you still need to load a VESA VBE driver; VBE is different from VESA Local Bus.
