If you want to do it without Allegro there is a nice page at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/ug/graphics/vga.html that will tell you
how to set the screen mode, plot pixels and set the pallete.  It doesn't
get to displaying bmps but it is a good start.  The advantage to this is
that your executable will not be 200k like the one you would get with
Allegro which set the screen and ploted pixels.  Of course if you wanna
skip learning how to do it manualy and go right to making games you
should get Allegro.
Have fun  :)
