Mine isn't either, but it works (alleg-svgalib.so has the link and is loaded
dynamically).  Did you check that it's in the modules.lst file
in /usr/local/lib/allegro/4.2 ?

Have you tried running the program work when run as root?
I have noticed recently that I seem to be losing rw permissions on /dev/svga
with annoying regularity.  While that doesn't affect ZGV for some reason, it
often crashes Allegro programs.  Have you checked that?
