There are for Windows (adagraph), Linux, bindings to OpenGL, X-window,...

In "my" area (GNAT/DOS - 32-bit DPMI):

vgapck07 - basic VGA
svga02   - basic SVGA - very "pro"; detects linear VESA 2 but uses VESA 1.x as well,
           drawing in buffers, fast, reliable! 
graph    - multi-device layer (-> slower) for SVGA, VGA, PostScript, EPSF, DXF;
           pixel coordinates & floating-point definable areas, vectorial fonts,
           supersets Borland/Turbo Pascal's version,... and not fully complete

The 3 come with complete sources.
The 2 first come with ez2load gnat/dos pack;
for the last one see my "software" page...
