Hi, is it possible in X (Linux) to "lock the screen" and then to put the screen in a fullscreenmode (800 x 600 x 32Bit) and then have access to the framebuffer memory like in DOS?

Not like that.
You should use a DRI (Direct Rendering Interface) interface or something like it.

You could try to use the framebuffer interface of the kernel, but that will work on the console only.
