There should be a pdf of vesa vbe 3.0 available on the net. But don't
expect to improve things using vesa, AFAIK vesa is a very limited
standard with almost no acceleration for any interesting things.
It's more a legacy things that let you set video mode and draw
everythings using CPU and memcpying to the video card.
