I think using screen is the same (as far as svgalib is concerned) as
running telnet localhost, so svgalib does not know the program is
actually running on the local console.
I am not sure it's a good idea to run an svgalib program from a screen
session - when you try to move to another window, svgalib won't catch
that (as it catches vc switches), so you will now run a program that
thinks it's in text mode, but the video card is actually in graphics
mode.
I guess that the only real solution is to add support for screen, the
same as there is support for linux virtual consoles.
