Modes of Video Services of Bios and their Difference

Input/Output services handled by Bios services which supply different operation like serial port, parallel port, keyboard, video, keyboard, time etc. The video services are exported via INT 10. We will discuss some very simple services.


Write two different modes of video services of BIOS? Differentiate between both modes?

Video services are classified into two broad categories;

  • Graphics mode services
  • Text mode services

Graphic Mode Services

graphics mode a location in video memory corresponds to a dot on the screen.The video memory holds the ASCII of the character to be shown and the actual shape is read from a font definition stored elsewhere in memory.
