That is exactly the point. VESA is limited and not always the same.
What if we create a official FreeDOS VGA card? This will allow
developers, like us, to create much more advanced graphics software
running in DOS.
It is much more easier to do these days. Any VGA card can do
1920x1080x32 or even more.
What do you think? Good idea?
No, not a good idea.
For one, there simply isn't a market for such hardware. Beside, as a
second reason, DOS istself isn't graphics based, graphics drivers have
always been the responsibility of the application that is using
graphics. With the exception of trying to level the field a bit by
introducing the VESA standard. But that was hardly ever used for games...
