All new cards supprort the VESA standard.  So therefore you can use
DJGPP to program for any type of video card.

The DELORINE web-site contains some good information on this:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/ug/graphics/vesa.html

I think that the same web-site contains a link to a place where you can
directly use the video-card (skip VBE process) but I am not sure about
this!
