Hi netters

I'd like to get some information on how to get SVGA screen modes.

I have tried to use 0x4F02, int 10, but it doesn't seem to work.
I have also noticed that you can get information about the supported modes
using 0x4F01, int 10.
(Credit to Ralph Brown, but his interrupt list doesn't give all the 
answers:-)
What I'd like to know is: How do you find out which modes are 
available, and how do you initialize SVGA modes. I'd also like to know if 
there are bitplanes, how you address a pixel on the screen and if there are 
any pages etc.

If someone had a description of this, an ftp cite where a could get this 
info., or assembly/C code, I'd become very thanksful.
