The problem is the following:
I get the VESA structure and all the "numeric info" (memory, version, etc) but 
I can't read/print the oem string nor the VESA signature... I've readed the 
discussion about DOS memory in the FAQ and I've look the sources of GRX2, but 
the code is too confusing... 

Other problem:
How can I move the string to an accesible memory zone? I've tested with 
dosmemget, _far* and others, but it doesn't work... What I'm doing wrong?

I've found in the FAQ a discussion about speeding up the memory accessing with 
near pointers, but I don't know how to use it... I think that I should put in 
DS -1... and then, what?

Thank you for helping me....
