You might benefit from taking a look at simpld at 
http://www.unur.com/howto/c-examples.html. It demonstrates how to get into VGA 
mode 0x13, and use far pointers under djgpp to write your putpixel.

After you feel comfortable with that, however, I suggest you download Allegro.

that is because, in protected mode, the screen resides in a different address 
space than the data segment of you program.

besides, it seems rather wasteful to use a block copy function to set a single 
address locations.
