What is it?
-----------

The Universal VESA TSR is a small Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program
that provides extends the Video BIOS routines of SuperVGA video cards
to make them compatible with the Video Electonics Standards Association
(VESA) recommended extensions.

By having a video card that has a VESA compatible BIOS, or by installing
this small TSR, programs that support the VESA programming interface
will work correctly for your SuperVGA. This helps to solve a lot of
problems with compatability between different SuperVGA cards on the
market.

Why use it?
-----------

You may already have a VESA TSR for you video card, or you video card
may have a VESA compatible BIOS already, so why would you want to use
this program?

The simple answer is that most of the TSR's that exist today, and a lot
of the not-so-new SuperVGA cards that are around implement an older version
of the VESA programming interface (if any at all). For this reason, some
programs that use the advanced features of the new VESA standard will
not work with the TSR or BIOS that you currently have.

So what advanced features does this TSR provide that other's don't? The
Universal VESA TSR implements the VESA Version 1.2 programming interface,
which supports the following features:

- VESA page flipping. High performance animation programs can
use your card to full potential using the VESA BIOS to implement
extended page flipping (imagine, 1024x768x16 double buffered
animation, or even 800x600x256 and 640x400x32k on a 1Mb video
card!!).

- Support for the 32k and 16 million color video modes. As well
as supporting the industry standard 16 and 256 color video
modes.

Hardware Requirements
---------------------

The Universal VESA TSR contains '386 dependant code, so it will only
run on machine that have and 80386 or better CPU. Currently the
Universal VESA TSR supports the following SuperVGA chipsets (note that
not all of these have been fully tested):

- ATI Technologies 18800, 28800
- Ahead A & B
- Chips & Technologies 82c451/452/453
- Everex
- Genoa Systems GVGA
- OAK Technologies OTI-037C, OTI-067, OTI-077
- Paradise PVGA1A, WD90C00/10/11/30/31
- NCR 77C20/21/22E
- Trident 88/8900
- Video7 V7VGA versions 1-5
- Tseng Labs ET3000, ET4000
- AcuMos AVGA2
- S3 86c911/924/801/806/928
- Advance Logic AL2101 SuperVGA
- MXIC 86010 SuperVGA
- Primus 2000 SuperVGA
- RealTek 3106 SuperVGA
- Cirrus CL-GD 5422 SuperVGA

The Universal VESA TSR seems to have problems with QEMM, since QEMM does
something weird with the Video BIOS. In order to fix this problem,
you should use the QEMM 'exclude' options to exclude the Video BIOS
area. Do this by including the following in the QEMM options:

EXCLUDE=C000-C1FF

How do I install it?
--------------------

You can install the TSR from the command line, or from your autoexec.bat
file. Don't worry about installing it twice, it will automatically detect
if you have already installed it.

To install it simply type:

univesa

from the command line. It will determine what type of SuperVGA card you
have installed and install itself accordingly.

When installed the Universal VESA TSR takes up approximately 7k of memory.
All of the code required to detect the video adapter and available video
modes is removed after the program is installed, saving on the amount
of memory required. You may also load the TSR high.
