Yes, but my point was that I can see a possibility that some 2.0[+] VBE's might only return a version of 1.2 unless the "VBE2" signature has been set by the caller. This would not be unreasonable since as you say, they are supposed to be backwards compatible, and a 2.0[+] driver should then only provide 1.2 functionality.

Either way, "Chasm: The Rift" doesn't detect my VBE properly. :-(
