Well, it depends when you're talking about. In the early days (1990-ish?), It's only goal IIRC was to provide VBE 1.2 on all those SVGA cards that didn't have any VBE at all. Later it became a goal to be a replacement for all those cards that had very buggy VBE's, and probably a little later than that, to provide VBE 2.0 and LFB support for those cards that only had a 1.2 implementation or a buggy 2.0 implementation. But I had given up on UniVBE long before that because it was both expensive (for what it was) and buggy.
