I think you have to pay VESA for these. 

I used a combination of XFree86, read-edid, and fbmon.c for the EDID
parser. I think Kendall Bennett is planning to release their own code.

As for the GTF, I used the MS Excel spreadsheet available in VESA's ftp
site.  

As for VBE, the VBE 3.0 Core specs is free.  I also referred to Ralph
Brown's comprehensive interrupt list for x86 real mode.
