Everything lives in ./drivers/video/. The drivers you're probably interested in are "vesafb.c" or "vga16fb.c". There is also the "vgacon" driver in ./drivers/video/console/vgacon.c. I am not sure which one you are talking about. You might also want to have a look at the x86 sysfb infrastructure which isn't merged, yet: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=x86/fb It provides proper platform-devices so drivers no longer conflict on the vga/vesa/efi.. framebuffer resources. It's x86 only as all the relevant drivers only work on x86. If you give some more information on what you are trying to do, I can point you to the relevant resources. My guess is that you want to have a look at remove_conflicting_framebuffers() in ./drivers/video/fbmem.c.
