The links2 at that site was compiled to require X, not SVGA.
startx starts X.  To use links2 in graphical mode, from an rxvt (xterm) 
type links2 -g .

You can also use links123 or links-0.9X with xli as a viewer to view 
individual images by clicking on them.

SVGA is unrelated and you do not need it for BL3 unless you don't want to 
use X.  I provided a recently compiled package of it for BL2 (glibc 
2.2.5).  It uses less memory than X.  The SVGA-based links2 that I 
compiled (also for BL2) has additional library dependencies besides glibc.

Can you repair the dongle, which may have a broken wire?
