This information is not stored on a certain address.(My mind works
diffrently :)
 
VESA is a standard for using Video cards on higher resolutions. This
should mean that if your video card is VESA-compatible, you can use
interrupt 10 function &h4F00 through &h4F0A to customize the screen to
your needs.
 
To put pixels on the screen (Which is the actual goal, isn't it?) you
have to poke bytes is segment &hA000. Because &ha000 is not large enough
to contain all pixels, you have to flip your page once in a while.
 
for an example you can download my library at

good luck !
