WHY?
Svgalib is a dirty, ugly and stupid programm that crashes your Linux
most of the time. Its the only way to sure kill your Linux apart from
kill -9 -1 while X is running.
Your time is probably better invested in getting ggi to work in a
framebuffer and then use ggi`s svgalib emulation. The speed penalty
(if any) should be pretty irelevant on an Alpha. The GGI is quite
superior to the svgalib.
May the Source be with you.
