"Mode-X" ist just another method of programming your VGA-card. It's an
unchained 8-bit graphics mode. Advantages are selectable (higher)
resolutions but real VESA-SVGA-Modes are better. If you want to have
information on Mode-X you can download the PC-GPE
(PC-GameProgrammersEncyclopedie) from my homepage. This is general
low-level programming information. 
Some links to information on how to code graphics with DJGPP can be
found at this page:
   http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/index.html
Here you can even download a mode-x library for DJGPP. (I didn't test it
yet.)
