Im thinking that he means SVGALIB based games. That is to say, console
based games that use graphics, like doom and things. If this is right,
then all i can really say is that most games (doom, quake and such) have
versions that use the X11 graphics libs instead of svgalib. As far as
directly using svgalib programs in X.. good luck.
