Hi, Okay, thanks. It looks exactly the same except for the name of the call, you actually get the PM interface location and the way you allocate memory for the vesa information. At least I know someone else had the same idea even if I am several years late. :)
This is very useful to me so I've included the PM if stuff and memory allocation function in my patch and I'm going to keep it current so that it always applies to the CVS tree or latest version.

I was compiling my kernel with the height, width, depth, etc, Just to mention it, we have this sort of VBE code in our public CVS for some years now (http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/drops/download.html#whatsavail). It's also in the patch I posted to list some time ago. So IMHO no need to double any effort...
