What SDL offers

Hey, I’m a newbie to SDL and just wanted to ask couple questions

  1. Is SDL a really thin layer that fully utilize directX to the extent that
    performance is not lost whether you’re developing straight on DirectX
    compared to using SDL.

  2. Does SDL take advantage of DRI

thanks,

slim

I think so, but someone who’s worked with the DirectX stuff could best
answer that.

Yes, it works with whatever OpenGL happens to be present.
