Amanjit, this is a simple page flipping test prog. Some minor changes in 
non-test code complete it, and give excellent linear buffer results.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include "grx20.h"

#define DSPRIGHT 640
#define DSPBOTTOM 480

int main() {
GrContext *vscn, *page0, *page1;
int vpage0=0, vpage1=DSPBOTTOM, lineno;

   GrSetMode(GR_custom_graphics,
             DSPRIGHT, DSPBOTTOM,
             256,
             DSPRIGHT,2*DSPBOTTOM);

// check to see if you really got what you wanted:
   if((GrScreenX()  != DSPRIGHT)  ||
      (GrScreenY()  != DSPBOTTOM) ||
      (GrVirtualX() != DSPRIGHT)  ||
      (GrVirtualY() != DSPBOTTOM*2)) {
      return -1;
   }

   vscn = GrSaveContext( NULL );
   page0 = GrCreateSubContext(0, 0, DSPRIGHT-1,DSPBOTTOM-1, vscn, NULL);
   page1 = GrCreateSubContext(0,DSPBOTTOM,DSPRIGHT-1,DSPBOTTOM*2-1, vscn, 
NULL);
   GrSetViewport(0, vpage1);

   do {
      GrSetContext( page0 );
      GrClearContext( GrBlack() );

      for ( lineno=0; lineno < DSPBOTTOM; lineno+=4)
          GrHLine( 20, DSPRIGHT-20, lineno, GrWhite());
      GrTextXY( 20, DSPBOTTOM/2+10, "#Page0#", GrWhite(), GrBlack());
      GrSetViewport(0, vpage0);

      GrSetContext( page1 );
      GrClearContext( GrBlack() );

      for ( lineno=2; lineno < DSPBOTTOM; lineno+=4)
         GrHLine( 20, DSPRIGHT-20, lineno, GrWhite());
      GrTextXY( 20, DSPBOTTOM/2+10, "*Page1*", GrWhite(), GrBlack());
      GrSetViewport(0, vpage1);

      if ( kbhit() )
         if ( getkey() == 27 ) break;
   } while ( 1 );

   GrSetMode( GR_default_text );
   return 0;
};
