Not in the sense of VBE 3.0 specification. I have such driver too, but 
it propably works only on ReactOS because of using undocumented API.

The driver uses the Bochs/QEMU VBE I/O port, the same method as used by 
BXVGA. My implementation is a bit simplier, but still with the same 
features. It also uses the Linear FrameBuffer feature of the Bochs/QEMU 
interface that wasn't available at the time when BXVGA was written.
