Forcing VESA only works on some videocards. Try to allow
svgalib to probe. It might select another chipset. 
You might try to force other chipsets but chances of sucess
are not too good.

Since the linux graphics is ok you can find what driver to
use from the X configuration files. Maybe none is included
in svgalib. If that is the case you have to wait for 
svgalib to include your hardware - or for me to supply a
version that runs under X. ON5GN is helping with this
so xlinrad might be available in a reasonable time:-)
