SVGA lib programs use graphics directly. Kind of the way X grabs the console.
That's more of a graphics driver issue than a console issue.

Everybody wants SVGA lib for compile compatibility but I've heard it is too
x86-centric to be considered a general solution for everybody.

I'm hoping months. We're hammering out the details now. It's actually part
of a process to revamp the entire video subsystem so that it actually works.
I'm glad that my driver code and design will be a part of it!
