Re: [Freedos-user] Only getting freedos text at boot when creating bootable USB

[esc...@front.ru]

rufus may be a good solution, but given that it runs on windows only, it's 
definitely not a silver bullet.

No. The VBE 3.0 standard doesn't define any new modes at all. The 640x480x256 
mode (0x101h) was defined from the very beginning, in VBE 1.0. Of course actual 
support depends on hardware. If you need 640x480x256 with linear framebuffer 
access, it was added later, in VBE 2.0. VBE 3.0 added things like refresh rates 
control and stereo glasses support, so I don't see why 3.0 could be _required_ 
for your app. Please advice if I missed some point.
