SVGA - VESA modes in DOS games

This is a discussion about SVGA - VESA modes in DOS games in the Windows Games category; Hello people, I've just tested some DOS games under WINXP, sound and music is working (yay !) and the games are running fine in 320x200 but if I try running them in SVGA - VESA modes (640x480 or 800x600) the games go back to the desktop.

Hello people,
I've just tested some DOS games under WINXP, sound and music is working (yay !) and the games are running fine in 320x200 but if I try running them in SVGA - VESA modes (640x480 or 800x600) the games go back to the desktop.
 
I was wondering if anyone has managed to make some games to work on higher resolutions

Nope. I *think* XP supports Vesa a little bit more than 2K but in actuall use. Not really.
