GGI. IIRC you already are using Beta2.1 or newer, so xggi should be fine.
And AFAIk Glide was always up to that.

Note, that the VooDoos are not quite optimized for DB access.

That's strange. This could be a problem with VT-switching or needing
root-access to use the keyboard. Could you run the core file through a
debugger to see where it dumps ? And/or make GGI_DEBUG=255 logs and strace
logs ?
