you neglected to post `emerge info` also, what version of svgalib are you trying ? if you re-emerge svgalib, does it work ?
Created attachment 67356 [details] emerge info you neglected to post `emerge info`. It's attached what version of svgalib are you trying ? All in portage. Versions: 1.9.19-r3 1.9.21 if you re-emerge svgalib, does it work ? No.
You forgot to reopen.
svgalib is already ready for the 2.6.13 class_simple changes. Please attach the full output of "emerge =svgalib-1.9.21"
as Dan pointed out, class_simple should work fine ... post build log please ...

Looks fine. What happens when you "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r1/misc/svgalib_helper.ko" ? (I see that the original bug report complains about kernel/misc/svgalib_helper - this may be an older version, which you should manually remove)
