Hello,

You can try using the VBE PMode interface however it is not supported on some hardware. Else you will have to use v86 or real mode.

More information can be found via the VBE specification.

You can also implement the x86emu lib on your kernel, its more simp,e to do and not require to use a tss like v86 mode.
See my own kernel using this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/outaroper/
