I got Arachne to run in Slax Linux (= Slackware 12.1) with an older packet of svgalib from Slackware 7.1. The Slackware 12 distributions contain a utility (svga-helper) that attempts to install a module not fitting into the provided kernel. Comments in libvga.config, however tell, that you may deactivate this utility with the keyword 'NoHelper'. This worked also in the libvga 1.4.3. Customizing libvga.config without knowing what you do, is probably a source of big trouble. But selecting Vesa seems to be a good selection for different video chips, similar as the setting PS2 for mouse.
