I am thinking of getting ModeX to work with Go32.  However a couple of
problems have arisen:

1.  ModeX, while using 1 byte per pixel, still operates on a planar memory
    organization.  Thus, when you write out to a single memory location you
    can theoretically write out to 4 pixels!  You have to set the latches
    to know which planes should be written to.

Is there a way around this?  Can Go32/the 80386 easily be reconfigured to
know how to write out correctly to mode x?

Thanks,

Brian
