They all fall under the generic umbrella of "VGA".A "VGA style" connection is typically a 15 pin, D-sub connector configured for a R,G,B,H,V [analogue] signal. Meaning, one pin/conductor for red, green, blue, horizontal sync, and vertial sync. Like the traditional computer-to-monitor cable/interface. This same interface can be found using 5 BNC style connectors, but it is usually called "RGB" in such a configuration.
SVGA and UVGA are not fixed standards, so their meaning depends on the way the wind is blowing. Typically SVGA means that 800x600 is supported and UVGA means 1024x768 is supported...both at least a 16bit color depth...typically. I think XGA adds support of 1056x600 or somesuch oddball resoloution? There are other VGA variants...I'm not sure what they all mean in terms of supported resoloutions and color depths?
I know of no VGA subset that uses an interface different than the standard RGBHV/15pin D-sub I outlined above. Some newer sources/monitors use DVI style connectors that can transmit video in either the analogue or digital domain[s]. DVI and VGA are two different animals...as far as I know.
