I found out that editing /etc/vga/libvga.config, setting "chipset VESA"
and uncommenting the "VesaText" option lets me use SVGAlib programs, and
still have a usable text mode when I exit them.
Unfortunately, this doesn't completely solve my GLQuake-on-TNT problem.
Now squake works just fine, but glquake insists on having the glide
library.
My understanding was that glquake spoke to OpenGL (i.e. Mesa), and Mesa
spoke to the glide library. If that's the case, I should be able to fake
some kind of dummy glide library (not even a wrapper) and get things
working. Does anyone know how that works?
