Unfortunately, this is not possible, and it's never been possible with
SVGAlib. Maybe you are thinking of X?
SVGAlib writes directly to the video card, and as such is unsuitable for
network connections. It writes to console #7 because it cannot write to
your remote video card, and it is not appropriate for SVGAlib to write to
consoles 1-6 since you are not on them.

No; sorry. This was never the case.

Many of the vgagl functions use RGB, and you can also get 255 RGB values
with straight SVGAlib like so:
If the VGA_CLUT8 feature is set for the current mode with
vga_ext_set(3) the r, g, and b values are in the range 0 - 255.
If you have additional questions, you might consider posting to the
SVGAlib list at linux-svgalib@svgalib.org.
Cheers,
