I'd just like to recommend Allegro as well. I use it, and it's solved
virtually ALL my hardware programming problems. You can then use one piece
of code to draw to any SVGA or other mode you care to mention. It will also
handle sound, joystick, reading of Windows file formats like .BMP, .WAV,
etc. - the list goes on.

Get Allegro at http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/

The only disadvantage: executables can be quite big. But if you compile for
Windows, the library stuff will be in a .DLL file. Either way, UPX will
reduce your executables so they rarely exceed 300K (at least in my
experience).
