SVGAlib and support more than 640x480?

Hi,
I used www/links with only graphic SVGA support but it doesn't support resolution more than 640x480 such as 800x600 or 1024x768!
Is there a solution to resolve it?
 
Code: 
root@:/usr/home/user # links -g -mode help
Could not initialize any graphics driver. Tried the following drivers:
x:
Can't open display ":0.0"
root@:/usr/home/user #
 
There is no mention of it trying the SVGALib driver, which is disappointing. When you built the www/links port did you disable X support (X11 option) as well as enabling SVGALib (SVGALIB option) support? ( cd /usr/ports/www/links && make showconfig ) should show you.
 
Code: 
root@:/usr/ports/www/links # make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for links-2.8_1,1:
     CIPHERSTRING=off: Select the OpenSSL ciphers used via CIPHERSTRING
     DIRECTFB=off: DirectFB graphics support
     IPV6=off: IPv6 protocol support
     SVGALIB=on: SVGALib graphics support
     THREADS=off: Threading support
     TRANS=off: Hack for background transparency
     UTF8=on: UTF-8 support
     X11=off: X11 graphics support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
But still it support 640x480x16 resolution on maximum and do not support 800x600 or 1024x768!
How can support more than that resolution?
 
It's odd that it's trying the X driver even though you disabled support in the port options. Have you tried contacting the port maintainer (bf@FreeBSD.org)? Or perhaps have a look at the port yourself to ensure it's working properly as SVGAlib support probably isn't a commonly used option? Whilst the Links website does claim "high portability", the documentation does specifically talk about GNU/Linux quite a lot...
