that would be nice.

with real svgalib i get the permissions error with the fake one i get
something like this:
Unrecoverable error: ioerror in .setdevice

i also get that on my powerpc which has no svgalib.
here is the relevant portion of strace for the permission error:
stat("/proc/bus/pci", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("/etc/vga/libvga.config", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16082, ...}) = 0
read(4, "# Configuration file for svgalib"..., 16082) = 16082
close(4) = 0
open("/plato/eb/.svgalibrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
ioperm(0x3b4, 0x2c, 0x1) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(1, "svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissi"..., 37svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.
it shouldn't even be messing with svgalib, its not needed for acting
as a filter.

just for kicks i made gs suid root, which is totally unacceptable for
production, and that made it start printing `your not the owner of
your controlling terminal' or somesuch.
