Possible patch.

It compiles. Haven't tried to execute svgalib, though.

However, it's very important that this patch should be applied the last (this
is, after the other patches in the ebuild), like this:

        epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.9.25-linux2.6.patch
        epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.9.19-pic.patch #51698
        epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.9.25-build.patch
        epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-linux-2.6.27.patch

As you can see, the patch posted here is the last (I changed the name for easy
to identify to me).

The svgalib package compiles successfully with the patch applied. I can also
confirm expected functionality of the svgalib_helper module.

I can't seem to compile svgalib even with the attached patch, my problem is
that portage complains $EPATCH_SOURCE is not defined, I'm not a newbie in
linux, but I just recently started using gentoo and can't seem to find any info
about this.

Nevermind that, I figured it out, I had improperly named the patch...
Sorry for the stupid mistake, you should ignore my previous comment.

Patch works for me.

Thanks for the patch. I've added it to the ebuild, and things should work now
until the next time the kernel changes something.
