Hello teknik0s,

This is because the executable is either not owned by root or does not have the setuid bit set. See the SVGALib FAQ for more info. You could also try using a different output device like Xv or X11.

I've used xv and sdl, both seem to work pretty well here, and doesn't need any root permissions.
