I recently began converting over some code I had from 320x200 mode 11h to 
VESA 2.0 mode 101h (640x480x256).   I used the demo code from VBETEST.C which I 
found on someone's web page.

I modified the code, which is pretty straighforward, BUT....

If you remove the line that plots a single pixel in the upper left corner before doing 
anything else to the buffer, it completely resets the computer.   What's up with this?   
Plotting a pixel at 0,0 makes VESA work?
