I would just add USE="-svga" to make.conf because I
don't need svgalib.
If you want to compile it then you need the kernel
source and .config in /usr/src/linux. If you've lost
your .config then maybe you can do "gzip -dc
/proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config". Then run
the following commands:
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make modules_prepare
That should configure the sources sufficiently for you
to compile modules.
