The same way you have to do it under DPMI with V1.x - with far pointers and
setting up the frame yourself.  GRX 2.0 (in beta) does this when calling it's
routines.  We are also working on a way to write to the buffer with near 
pointers - but you still would not have the page fault based video drivers in V2
