[ltp] svgalib, directfb, etc.

Im trying to get links running in graphics mode with svgalib on a TP770.
Anybody managed to get this working? I have the framebuffer enabled in 
the kernel and dmesg shows this:

vesafb: framebuffer at 0x20400000, mapped to 0xce800000, size 2048k
vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=0
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:7606
vesafb: scrolling: redraw
vesafb: directcolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device

I have "chipset VESA" and "Helper /dev/fb0" in /etc/svga/libvga.config.

X works just fine.

Here's a test run of links in graphics mode:

% links -g svga -mode 640x480x16
Int 0x10 is not in rom (0000:0000)
No VESA bios detected!
Try running vga_reset.
svgalib 1.9.17
svgalib: Failed to initialize mouse.
%

I see garbage at the top of the screen, about 40 pixels high.
