You might want to check into _The Ultimate OS/2 Programmer's Manual_ by
John Mueller (1994 McGraw Hill, ISBN 0-07-043972-9).  While the title is a
bit overblown (there's a lot missing) it's got a lot of the sort of
information that Ray Duncan's now ancient _Advanced OS/2 Programming_
contained, but more up to date.  One of the sections that is rather
complete is Chapter 3: Video API, in which the author describes VIO, GPI,
and WIN calls, as well as the 8514 and XGA standards.
