I'm trying to get higher-than-VGA resolution graphics using djgpp -
ideally, 1024x768x256 colours. I have a monitor and graphics card
capable of supporting these, and have set the 'default graphics mode'
in the GO32 environment line to 1024x768x256. However, when I do
plot-a-pixel, the computer sets a line of 4 pixels; the screen also
flickers badly, as if it were being displayed non-interlaced.
  Text printed with printf in the mode comes out as random-bits-of-
characters gibberish.

  I'm clearly doing something FAQ-worthily wrong, but I can't find
a solution in the FAQ. Please, somebody help ...
