Direct writting to VGA text console

Hello

I'd like to know, how could I access text memory for VGA buffer in i386
linux.
I have to do it this way:

addr = ioremap(VGA_TEXT_ADDR, 1024)

addr[i] = 't'
addr[i+1] = 'e'

this should write 'te' to the left top corner.

Does anyone know how to achieve this goal??

(also I can't use any kernel function call for this, so please save your
time to post this advice to me)

Is it possible to access textual screen as a plain memory ??

thanks
