Yep - That's right. If your card is supported by SVGAlib. If you have an
older version of svgalib, try getting the new version from www.svgalib.org.
The site has 2 releases. A stable 1.4.3 (I think) and a development 1.9.x The
1.9.x has the advantage that apps that use it needn't run as SUID root. It
uses a kernel module instead. If you plan to use it, read the install
instructions to see how to use it...
