32k, 64k, and 16m modes are all covered by the VESA standard; VESA
compliant graphics code should work on all cards that use them. My
Cirrus Logic card does a nice 800x600x64k mode that's great for
Windows... to program these things, pick up a copy of the VESA spec
from somewhere (it's probably on x2ftp... I don't have a URL handy, so
if anyone has trouble finding it, mail me :-)
I'm not sure which DJGPP graphics libraries support it. Support for
these things has been generally thin on the ground so far! Perhaps I
should write a truecolour graphics library???
