Hey guys,

I've created a stub for VBE/AF, I though it might be useful for some devs.

Feel free to contribute.
VESA BIOS Extension/Accelerator Functions

Not only have you ignored the PM asking you to accept the official wiki license (i.e., CC0), but you have pasted copyrighted material from the specification. Please be more careful in the future. It would also be great if you could sign here.

I thought VBE AF was mostly nonexistent in real world implementations? Do any cards support it?

Very few of the older ones. Most implementations were really software-based (not that there were too many of that kind either). I'll warn about this in the article.

Sorry about that, I'll fix it.

Everyone makes mistakes. I have modified the page but I haven't added any information about how to actually use it---I'm not certain that it's worth the effort.

There's a checkbox when editing for accepting CC0 so why would that be needed? Don't you have that same text and checkbox for creating new pages?

The license has changed so we need everyone who contributed in the past to accept CC0 for all their past contributions or we will have to remove their old material. It gets that much harder when said material has been built upon by others...

Yes of course, but this was a new page so CC0 should be obvious. The copyrighted content is another story, but i meant the PM thing. I guess he also had older content contributions not properly released?

I just brought it up, I never said it was related.



Everything is fine now.
