There is no "asm procedure".  The Ada term for what you want is
"machine code insertions".  ARM 13.8 states that machine code
insertions are defined by the compiler, but that the compiler must do
so by means of package System.Machine_Code.

Since I remember you use GNAT on GNU/Linux, look at the GNAT User's
Guide, chapter "Inline Assembler", for a complete discussion.  GNAT
supports AT&T syntax only.

I'm not sure how to switch the video card to VESA mode 16#13# (13h),
if that's what you mean.  Doing so requires direct access to the
hardware, doesn't it?  I'm nor sure that Linux provides such direct
access, I suspect you'll have to use the framebuffer interface, or
svgalib.
