Yes, this is what the error message indicates. SVGAlib wrappers seem in
place, as your apps get redirected to LibGGI, which in turn tries to find a
suitable target to run on, but fails.

What target do you intend LibGGI to run on ? LibGGI is _NOT_ a graphics
driver by itself. It uses external mechanisms to actually display graphics.
Please start X and then try to run your applications again. LibGGI should
then detect X running and display the application in a window. 

If you want to run on the console, you need some kind of graphics driver for
it. SVGAlib is probably not an option for you, as you are trying to run
SVGAlib applications via LibGGI, which you probably wouldn't do, if you had
a working SVGAlib. This basically leaves framebuffer drivers as an option.

To recommend a driver, we'll need to know, what graphics card you have ... ?

CU, ANdy
