That stuff has been obsolete for quite a while as the general 3D capabilities are more than enough to saturate all the GPU's memory bandwidth.


If it's a VESA standard and still supported it might be useful as a fallback for hardware that doesn't have its own driver.

Edit: But actually, I couldn't find references to anything similar besides VBE/AF which even when current got almost no support directly in hardware, so folks had to resort to hardware-specific DOS TSR's. I'm not sure if there's anything newer than that.
