Well, as I've only been using DJGPP for a couple of weeks this is
probably not the most efficient way to do it (it's certainly not
optimized, on purpose), but this is how I do it:

Assming you're in mode 13h for simplicity, and you want to plot a
pixel at coordinates (x,y) in color 'color':

#include <sys/farptr.h>
#include <go32.h>

_farpokeb(_dos_ds, 0xa0000 + y*320 + x, color);


I think 15 is white for the default palette.
That's it. Hope this helps,
