[fpc-pascal]OpenGL, SDL, GGI, or SVGALib ?

Open GL is a 3D library. Unless you are going to do it in 3D, it would be 
overkill.

SDL is well respected, has a lot of support and a lot of games developed under 
it - admittedly in C/C++, but that shouldn't rule it out. Even pro outfits use 
SDL on the linux platform (or so I've been lead to believe.)

GGI - I looked at this, I decided it was more or less like Allegro (one you've 
not mentioned.) Is there a FPC wrapper/interface to it? I would have mentioned 
Allegro otherwise.

SVGA - kind of ties you to a terminal doesn't it?
