      In my original post(which appears to have been deleted)  I said
that I though that I was in a 32 bit color mode. Now , with some help
and re-examining of my code, it appears that I am in a 24 bit mode.
    Does anybody out there know how to get a 32 bit mode under VESA?  I
would prefer to write out a d-word at a time, mostly for speed and
partly for ease of use.

Thank you,

Jordan Swanson
