This might work:

mov esi,src_ptr // Source pointer
mov edi,scr_ptr // Screen pointer
mov ecx,16000   // 320*200/4
cld             // Just to be sure it's the right direction
rep movsd       // Copy 4 bytes/dwords 16000 times

The scr_ptr can't be 0xA0000, unless you use big_ds or so, maybe. I use
the map_linear_memory (?) call to map the screen buffer in the normal
address range that can be used with standard C pointers.

(Haven't tested it)
