Are you certain that you're adding __djgpp_conventional_base to the
address of the video memory after the call to __djgpp_nearptr_enable()? 
Also, when dealing with absolute addresses, it's 0xa0000, not 0xa000.

I would post a snippet, but I'm not an expert and I don't want to
inadvertently make any mistakes.  ;)
