As far as I remember, the FAQ suggests using __dpmi_int for all real mode 
interrupt calls. And I think you will also have to set EDI not DI to
(unsigned int)&vesainfo and the ES to _my_ds()... but I am not totally sure
on this, because I can't remember if the DPMI server converts these back to
their real mode equivalents. Sorry I am a little unclear but you said to
hurry, so I couldn't go research it :) IT is probably worth a try, though.
And Eli is bound to correct me if I'm wrong :)
