If you cannot, Linux is not capable of running X. : It is simply pretending to be able to do so... SVGALib is not X, nor does it make any claims to be so. It is not based on any specification, other than the author's. Bad comparison. I can run X apps from a Sun or AIX server on my Linux station with no problems.
