Well, have a look at SDL (www.libsdl.org).

Linux doesn''t like you writing directly to the hardware, as that''s how you get crashes and an OS as unstable as Windows. You might want to look into DGA (Direct Graphics Access), though. If SDL isn''t good enough for you, I believe it can use DGA so you could look at the source to see how it''s done.
