With linear frame buffer enabled, the address of the linear video memory is
not 0xA0000, you will only find the old style banked video memory here (ie.
"only can see quarter of the screen filled"). The linear memory is up there
in extended memory and you'll have to map it before you can write to it.
There are some good instruction sites which tell you how to do this:

http://www.execulink.com/~pweeks/chapter.html

http://www.cwu.edu/~baxters/vbe2.html

Both provide excellent instructions.....well they got it working for me
anyway.
