That may explain why it insists on libc.so.0 and libm.so.0.

I recall updating libvga or livgagl to version 1.4.3, which I think David 
compiled specially, for use with the uclibc zgv that he compiled for the 
1-floppy USB-storage linux.  He said the older zgv won't work with kernel 
2.4.31, which I need to boot to a scsi drive (and for USB storage).  So 
this is probably hopeless, but I can use zgv in BL2.  And some X-based 
viewer in BL3 (xv or if I convert format with netpbm, xli).  zgv did work 
with kernel 2.2.26 (which is not scsi) and I could try some day compiling 
a scsi 2.2.26, or simply stick to BL2 for photo editing on that computer 
until there is a USB-storage 2.2.X kernel.

I am impressed that your XF86Config worked where the one I made with 
xf8config did not (unless I wanted to scroll around in it).

Our next toy is a Dell with onboard video, which can't be worse than a 
Compaq.
