VIDEO Protect-Mode Interface

This chapter describes the VIDEO Protect-Mode-Interface (VIDEOPMI) in OS/2 
Warp. This interface is an extension of the VESA SVPMI standard. 

The VIDEOPMI interface also provides parameters for the adapter 
virtualization in multiple DOS sessions and a number of support functions. 
The adapter description is provided as a flat file with an extension of 
.PMI. The main goal of the VIDEOPMI interface is to centralize all of the 
SetMode-related services and provide a consistent interface that is not 
dependent on availability of BIOS service or OEM utilities.
