That might work, but sounds dangerous.  I don't know the specifics for
SVGALib, but usually the numbers are different for a reason ;^P

Your best bet is to get the source for libsvga v1.x from somewhere,
compile and install in /usr/local/lib.  Usually that's as simple as 
"./configure && make && make install", but you'd have to check with the 
library docs.

Also, you may need to add /usr/local/lib to the /etc/ld.so.conf file and
rerun ldconfig.
