ok i got VESA working but only on 2-3 resolutions of like 20 i know
of,  this is my code to do it,

union REGS regs;
regs.x.ax = 0x4F02; /* change display mode */
regs.x.bx = 117; /* three-digit mode number */
int86(0x10, &regs, &regs); /* Call the BIOS (int10) */
if(regs.h.al != 0x4F)
{
printf("VESA modes NOT supported!\n");
}
else
{
}

then after before the program ends:

regs.h.al = 3; /* return to Mode 3 */
int86(0x10, &regs, &regs);

This works ive got another program that just does this it will work on
1-2 more than i already have but still not with flying colors,  is
there any way to do this im looking for 1024x768 or 800x600 but in
high colors.  Thanks allot is it also possible that its just modifying
the size of the text to look the same at all the resolutions cause it
does change somthing...
