Hi James,
About this time last year, I needed something to put a pixel on a display for a visual acuity test, and did not want to use the commercial development package (intellectual freedom issues were involved, and I liked the philosophy behind GNU/Linux).
In the space of about 1 month and $200 (books of various sorts) I had my visual acuity test running. I had some dumb trouble installing the lib the first time, and the listserv came to my rescue. The VESA driver works well on most hardware.
There is a very flat and low learning curve for svgalib if your needs are modest. Go for it.
Joe
