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.
