dependency on judy was abolished at least 6 months ago.

Valid suggestion. Personally I've never used svgalib (I did not like
SUID) and have been using framebuffer (MGA) for text applications and
viewing a picture one and then and X11 for stuff requiring hardware
accelleration. (Doom.)
Does svgalib offer enhancements compared to vesafb? (higher refresh
rates?)

works reasonably well and seems to have quite upstream autors.
