How can I set up VESA with unreal mode?

I wanna enable high resolution graphics mode, without protected mode (I really dislike pmode, don't know why). In OSDev Wiki I found how I can set up unreal mode, but how can I set up VESA and use it in unreal mode?

I'm using nasm to compile my code, and I have already written a boot loader that can load 64k from floppy and execute it from 100h like DOS. I want some completed codes rather than snippets.

Forgive me for my BAD English, anyway.

Maybe because you haven't spent any time trying to understand it? :roll:

Just as you do it in real mode. Unreal mode is only popular because it lets you use the BIOS interrupts.
