Apologies if this is a repost.

Basically, most GPU manufacturers don't release the interface
specifications. Instead they distribute drivers, often binary only,
built in-house.

You can either use VESA, (in which case you won't be able to take
advantage of all the special features of your card), or use either
OpenGL or DirectX APIs. They in turn will do the needfull, provided of
course, you've installed your GPU's driver for your OS.
