 Yes it is lowcost model with intel graphics.
I found a tool called IEGD on Intel site which is able to solve my problem, at least disable scaling for vesa modes. It can produce DOS TSR program which duplicates VBIOS settings, so i dont need to replace the whole BIOS thing.
But this tool is complicated, I will post results if there will be any positive.

If i understand right, I cannot use any power of graphic chip without using directX or opengl. But actually only few capabilites like hardware clipping and maybe pixel shaders are interesting for me.
