I have svgalib installed on a LFS-6.1 (kernel 2.6.11.12). The svgalib version is 1.9.21. It is set up to run with the old method of setting the suid bits for the apps. I do not use svgalib_ helper. There are only two svgalib apps that I use: zgv (ver 5.9) and links (graphic) ver 2.1pre18. I have my mouse configured in libvga.config, and have no issues with either of the apps. I use the mouse as a pointing device under links (graphic). The relevant section of my libvga config file for my Microsoft Optical Mouse is as follows: <snip> # Mouse type: mouse PS2 # Aceleration mouse_accel_type normal # Device mdev /dev/mouse # mouse is at /dev/input/mouse0 </snip> Why don't you try and set up the mouse instead of denying its existance ? May be needed for other svgalib programs which use the pointing device.
