SVGALib.

it runs under svgalib, and yes, I've got it running fine. You have to put
the svncviewer dir in the same directory as the vncviewer directory is (the
source root of vnc). Then it builds. I had some problem (had to build the
libnvcauth before svncviewer).

I can sent it to you, but it is libc6. If you can wait a few days, I will
make it available at a public ftp server in germany as a tar ball.

have you specific problems?
