   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> incorrect, vesa does not enforce aspect ratio   
    BP> i had vesa on 1600x1200 monitor with 8 penguins, i still have that picture   
      
   If you do the math 1600x1200 *IS* 4:3 aspect ratio. The above is evidence   
   that vesa is 4:3. You might be thinking of uvesa which can do 16:9.   
      
    BP> vesa is what to do if others does not work   
      
   How about if it does work but doesn't give you bootup penguins? I'd much   
   rather have the proper aspect ratio than bootup penguins, not to mention   
   accellerated graphics, etc. Your suggestion is for situations where there is   
   no choice.

   It is part of the cpu. From the spec sheet https://ark.intel.co   
   /content/www/us/en/ark/products/134898/intel-core-i5-9400-proces   
   or-9m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html I cut and paste; Processor Graphics ^�   
   Intel® UHD Graphics 630   
      
    BP> and the loadlin.exe existed for os/2 if i remember aswell   
      
   No surprise there although I never did encounter it nevermind try it. The   
   win95 one I saw in action on a cousin's computer way back in the mid to late   
   1990's.   
      
    BP> i am just happy now that msdos chromoium edge is open source now   
      
   It makes no difference here. The only place I've seen chromiun is on android   
   based phones and tablets ... and usually the owner installs firefox instead.
