The best source of vga programming information that I have found is in the book
"Programmer's Guide to PC and PS/2 Video Systems" by Richard Wilton.  It is 
published by Microsoft Press and costs $24.95.  When I had to port a major
graphics application to VGA, this is the book I turned to.  It covers more
than just VGA, and has a wealth of source coded routines.  It is very well
written.

Good Luck
