IIRC SDL does not interact with the video card directly at all, it simply redirects to the systems native drivers, or to the CPU when no hw accelerated drivers are availible.

MESA is the same way, no built-in drivers included, just wrappers to the system drivers.  No hw accelerated drivers, you get software-rendering.

What will AOS4 support for hw accelerated drivers, not a clue.
