I ported (using NASM) the Mode-X routines given in Michael Abrash's book
"The Black Book of Graphics Programming".  I did nothing special to get
them to work under NT/DJGPP, other than changing the register sizes in
some cases (if you're interested, I can email you the modified Mode-X
routines).  Here is a somewhat exhaustive list of the output ports I
used:
 03c4h (Sequence Controller)
 03ceh (Graphics Controller)
 03d4h (CRT Controller)
 03c2h (Misc. Output Register)
 03dah (Input Status 1 register)
 03c8h (VGA Color Control)
 03c9h (VGA Color Register)

If you have any questions, post or email.
