Program that run from init don't have a controlling tty, which svgalib
needs. Therefore, you must set a controlling tty before calling
vga_init(). This can be done by:
i=open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR);
ioctl(i, TIOCSCTTY, 1);
If you are trying to run a program that you did not write, and you don't
want to compile a special version of it, simply write a program that
sets a tty and the execs the program you want.
