Yes, the screen output works, but the VDI color definiton is to small to
use 32 bit values. And I think it's doesn't even support 16 bits.
VDI's definiton of an color is: "an index into an palette". So I'm limited
to use the colors of this palette. I expect the numbers of colors to be
very low...
an 16bit / 32bit Gfx card will offer much more colors than the VDI
palette.

put_pixel(32bit_color_value, x, y) 
and 
put_pixel(24bit_color_value, x, y)
and
put_pixel(16bit_color_value, x, y) 
and so on....
