  You're problem is that DOS4GW intertcepts ROM BIOS (int 10h) calls
  and translates pointers, etcv for you.  However, it doesn't emulate
  VESA BIOS calls.  So, what you need to do is call the DPMI function
  that is documented in your C/C++ 386 Users Guide and call the 
  "Simulate Real Mode Interrupt" function.  There is some sample code
  in the sample code that comes with Watcom, its in the 
  WATCOM/SRC/GOODIES directry that demonstrates this, if I remember 
  correctly.
