Novell® supports the VESA BIOS extensions. The Xvesa driver provides graphics support for VESA 1.2 and later compliant video controllers. The resolution for VESA video controllers is controller dependent.
NetWare uses Xvesa as the default X server. It also supports VESA 1.2 through 3.0. NetWare also includes Xi Graphic's Accelerated-X as an alternative X server, which supports over 500 specific video cards.
NJVM currently supports the following video controllers for up to 1600x1200 and True Color:
VESA 1.x and 2.x support covers a large percentage of recently manufactured controllers and provides nonaccelerated support for additional hardware modes.
For instructions on accessing the video card tab in the taskbar menu to view a complete list of supported controllers, see Configuring X Server Using the GUI Environment Utility .
NOTE: Using an accelerated video driver can hinder usability. To learn how to configure your monitor for an accelerated video driver, see Configuring Your System for an Accelerated Video Driver .
