Hmm... I thought I built (and tested) the svgalib driver on a RedHat
box not that long ago.  I would not have tested "all", but a list of

When I do my next build of 0.5.4, I'll look at it, since it actually
interests me (I had an idea to run the svgalib driver on a
picture-frame-sized machine (as opposed to running the curses driver
