The pre-release doc directory contains a file called README.kernel-2.3.
Its content is:

Background mode is not working with kernels in the 2.3 series (due to the
removing of the possiblity to mmap /proc/self/mem).
If you wish to use svgalib with kernel 2.3.27 or later, edit Makefile.cfg,
and comment out the BACKGROUND = y line.
