I am still looking for any information on setting SVGA modes,
mainly 256 color, with out using the BIOS. This is by definition
chip-set specific, and is often video card specific.
I've had better luck with the chip-set technical manuals than
unassembling the BIOS, but there has to be a better way.
An answer:
Have you ever seen John Bridges' VGAKIT? It contains code to detect and
bank switch many (all?) of the VGA chip sets.
A question:
Where did you get chip-set technical manuals? If you got them from the
manufacturers, could you post the names and addresses?
