===VBE/accelerator functions (VBE/AF) (August 1996)=== VBE/AF provides a low-level, standard interface to common acceleration functions available on most hardware. Some of the functions defined in the standard are access to hardware cursors, [[Bit blit|Bit Block Transfers]] (Bit Blt), off screen [[Sprite (computer graphics)|sprites]], hardware panning, drawing and other functions. It is defined to work under 32-bit protected mode. Despite the widespread adoption of VBE Core, very few devices support VBE/AF. The [https://shawnhargreaves.com/freebe/ FreeBE/AF] project implements [[Free software|free]] third-party VBE/AF drivers for certain graphics cards.
