Howdy,

I found the following in www.vesa.org:

___________________________
VBE/AF Standard 1.0 
The VBE/AF 1.0 defines the interface of a new operating system portable,
loadable device driver architecture that will provide access to
accelerated graphics hardware. Some of the accelerator functions
supported include hardware cursors, multi buffering, solid and
transparent off-screen bitmaps, rectangle filling, line drawing and
polygon filling.

And a link to a free implementation:

I think this would be be an interesting framework to have in DOS, maybe
it should even be sponsored by Caldera...

cheers,
	Pedro.
