Did you read sections 10.4 and 10.5 in the DJGPP FAQ list?  They have 
some suggestions.  The latest version of the FAQ is available as 
faq102.zip from the same place you get DJGPP.

I did but the internal vesa driver in go32 returns:

GrSetMode: unknown adapter type in  driver

I have re-written the graphics table in vesa_s3.asm and found out with
modetest.exe that with 4 bit (16 colors) the vesa modes 1xxh it will change
res but with 8 bit (256 colors) it needs the S3 2xxh accelerated modes to
change res. But alas only modetest.exe works, I think that vesa_s3.grn was
written for a stealth card an not 864/964 chipsets by Phoenix.
