>Can someone recommend a *good* book on programming the VGA? 

There are a couple of books out there.  My favorite (because of profuse
code examples, thoroughness, and nice diagrams is "Programmer's Guide to
PC & PS/2 Video Systems", by Richard Wilton, Microsoft Press 
(ISBN 1-55615-103-9).  Don't get the first printing (there shouldn't be
any of these left around) because the program listings were done in a
hard-to-read green.

This book discusses EGA, VGA, Hercules (several types), and MCGA.  The
only thing missing is PCJr!
