A couple of C libraries developed for the EMX extender and allow you to write OS/2 and DOS programs that utilise high resolution graphics modes. VESA-EMX is a low level interface to the graphics card, keyboard, and mouse; SVGA-Kit provides high level 2D drawing routines.
There was a beta version two that supported DIVE and sundry other new features that was stable enough that it was used in the development of a few games, but when the original FTP server of the program's author was taken offline all copies of the library and source appear to have disappeared off the net.
