   Is it possible to get Vesa mode info without DMPI or far pointers?

Not really.  Why would you want to?

   I'm
   trying not to use these. I went on the dj delorie site and got their vesa
   source and tried to convert it (stop using dpmi and use int386/int386x) )
   but it simply wont work!!

You are fighting against the DPMI environment, and it fights back.
Don't do that.  Just go as the FAQ explains in sections 18.2, 18.4,
and 18.5, and if you have some specific questions or something doesn't
work, simply ask here about those specific issues.
