Could you tell me what went wrong with svgalib? I have code which
handles the mouse at G800x600x64K on my web site, and it will work great
under DOS/svgalib as soon as I have a mouse library to replace the Linux
one.

Under Linux, jlib is a higher level interface for svgalib, AFAIK. Other
than that, I know of no other libraries. Anything VESA will not work
under Linux.

P.S.: NO, IT WON'T! vesa is closely tied to the i386 architecture.
