Did you try to run "make svgalib" ?
That command should be used only if you installed svgalib from source.

From svgalib Makefile.cfg:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kernel module Configuration Section
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Char major device used by module
SVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR = 209

From svgalib_helper Makefile:

        mknod -m 666 /dev/svga c $(SVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR) 0
        mknod -m 666 /dev/svga1 c $(SVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR) 1
        mknod -m 666 /dev/svga2 c $(SVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR) 2
        mknod -m 666 /dev/svga3 c $(SVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR) 3
        mknod -m 666 /dev/svga4 c $(SVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR) 4
