The only graphics mode (via graphics_mode()) you could address in this
manner would be mode 19. And then the address of video memory is always
#A0000. And bytes_per_line is always 320. You can still include vesa20.e
and not call vesa_mode()... All the single_copy kinds will still work,
with the exception of bank_copy (which gets configured during a call to
vesa_mode()).
Euphoria uses Watcom's C graphics library for handling supervga modes,
which always uses a banking scheme, as far as I can tell.

You are certainly allowed to include both libraries in the same program.
I did a quick check and there were no name conflicts.
include vesa20.e
include vgraph.e
This way you can use Jiri's complete set of graphics primitives in
256-color vesa modes.
