I'm making a VBE 2.0 lib, i getting an hard time at:

Deciding the best method of accesing the video memory.
What functions should i use ?
Should i create a descriptor, and set its base to create an offset of 0 ?

Also. Are the video mode numbers fixed.
From univbe 5.1 to univbe 5.3, i think the 320*200*8 changed from 153 to
163. (I THINK)

Should we trust the numbers, or should we shearch for mode that suits our
needs ?
