I have written one for the standard VGA 320x200x256 mode.  And I'm intending
on extending it into the super VGA modes.  However I have an ATI card which
makes the programs useless to you.  (Unless I go to VESA support.)  However,
writing your own is not that difficult.  A simple TSR to dump the screen to
disk (I grabbed the PrtScr interrupt.) and another to change it into a GIF
file that can be written in a higher language.  (I wrote mine in Watcom C.)
This way you can customize your program for your card and detect all of its
modes.  Don't forget the palette when you're dumping to disk.
