Hello Greg,

It's not really possible to do what you ask and stay compatible with
the myriad of cards used with the PC.. So unless your ONLY
programming for your OWN system I'd suggest you forget it..

However, you may be a candidate for ModeX which uses tweaked modes
and makes all your 256k graphic memory available.  I don't know how
advanced you are so I won't enlarge on the detail, but what you want
is quite feasible in this mode..

There is are many Libraries available that enable ModeX and the one I
could recommend is XLib..  Latest Version I believe is Xlib612.zip
for Windoze or 61.zip for Dos.

Here is a bit from the docs.. :-  ABOUT XLIB

XLIB  is a "user supported freeware" graphics library
specifically designed with game programming in mind. It has been
released to the public for the benefit of all and is the result
of MANY hours of or work.

All users must comply with the following guidelines:
Leave the code in the public domain.
Do not distribute any modified or incomplete versions of this
library.
New contributions and comments are welcome. There will be more
releases as the code evolves.

GENERAL FEATURES
Support for a number of 256 color tweaked graphics mode resolutions
320x200 320x240 360x200 360x240 376x282 320x400 320x480 360x400
360x480 360x360 376x308 376x564

Virtual screens larger than the physical screen (memory permitting)
that can be panned at pixel resolution in all directions.

A split screen capability for status displays etc.

Text functions supporting 8x8 and 8x14 ROM fonts and user
defined fonts

Support for page flipping

Graphics primitives such as line and rectangle drawing functions.

Bit block manipulation functions

Please note that some of the resolutions best suit monitors with
adjustable vertical height.
