GFX under Linux

There is a simple way to get in 800x600x16bpp under Linux?
I’ve tried unsuccessfully SDL, then i had a look to X11, but it seems very complex if not really far from what i need.

sdl works great, but you NEED the modline in the X config, otherwise it’ll look for the closest thing…
in the ‘screen’ you’re using, you do have “800x600” in the resolution you want, right?

Thanks,
