nanogui: Thread: Problems with ioctl_getpalette() and ioctl_setpalette()

I figured the problem.... but the solution is beyond me.

The definition to the ioctl_getpalette() and ioctl_setpalette()
functions are in fb.h (prototypes) and scr_fb.c; however, if one is
using SVGAlib (as I am trying to do) then these are not used, and thus
the functions are never defined, even though they are used in
kbd_ttyscan.c and vtswitch.c.

My "fix" has been to remove calls to these functions, but that's not the
real answer I suspect.

If you are running with the SVGAlib, you probably don't care about VT 
switching as much as the framebuffer users do, so if you just define VTSWITCH 
to be N in the config, then you should eliminate most of your problems.

Or, if you *do* care about VT switching, then define your own versions of the 
two calls for the SVGAlib and use them instead.
