If I remember correctly 640x480x4bpp that's "SCREEN 12" in QBASIC- but what language are you working with?

C / C++
i know its screen mode 12hex
asm {
mov ax,12h
int 10h
}
but how do i put pixels without bgi, libarys and bios rotines
i should be able to just write to A000:0000
but i think theres like vga planes or something
