There is an excellent book by Richard Wilton, published by
Microsoft Press, which goes into lots of the gory details on how to 
program all the common PC and PS/2 video displays. It contains lots of
code in both C and MASM forms.  It is well worth the money if you
want to do your own low-level graphics routines.

If you just wanna draw a circle or a line, try the graphics libraries
which come with turbo C or Microsoft C or some such compiler. These, likely,
are discussed in one of the myriad of books describing those
compilers, to say nothing of the manufacturer's manuals on the compiler.

good luck!
