 Re: VGA VESA Screen Updates Im with Love4Boobies on this, I think UDI could become invaluable to the osdev community.

Re: VGA VESA Screen Updates HELLO WORLD! VESA basically switches modes so you can do direct memory access. How is this slow?!?!?!

Re: VGA VESA Screen Updates I think its slow because of the way the memory banks are mapped... its not guarranteed to access all the video memory linearly... I remember when DirectX first came out, I remember they used a cheap trick, they used the CPU's General Protection Fault system to switch banks automaticaly... so to the programmers the video memory appears to be mapped linearly...

Re: VGA VESA Screen Updates I remember messing with vesa aat low level before and there are so many deviations from the standards too. Not to mention the banking.
