Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family
VBE (VESA) Support for DOS Games and Applications

The Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family and the Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family supports VBE 1.2, 2.0 and 3.0. Both linear and banked framebuffer modes are supported. This allows the use of full color and resolution MS-DOS* games and applications.

This also provides driver independent (fall-back) graphics support for other operating systems. For example, Windows* XP will use VBE modes for display until the Intel® graphics driver is installed. XFree86* and most Linux* distributions also provide a VESA/VBE driver which is compatible with these graphics controllers.

This applies to:
Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family
Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family
