The biggest problem with the svgalib is its lack of support for svga cards. For instance, the last time that I checked there was no support for S3 cards . I guess a good starting point will be to port whatever is available then include a lot of the XFree86 init and graphic routines. The effort is almost not worth it -- at least from my point and view . I suggest doing a net search for a better package.
