Answer from Aurelien M*r* (14years old - France)
 
In fact, the INT 10h with AH=4Fh IS the Vesa interrupt / Vesa-Bios !
The VESA interrupt has got 6 functions.
We call them with INT 10h and AH=4Fh and the number of the function in AL.
I can send you the explanations of all the functions if you want...
