I have mach64 video on my main computer.  I just 
booted BL1 and orb, minesweeper, etc. work fine.

Will his version of zgv work with BL1?  You could make 
a wee BL1 ramdisk with zgv just for him.  It would even
be possible to bypass the login and go straight to zgv.
Or perhaps you'd rather use chroot?
