I think it makes more sense to skip SDL and directly use the linux

Someone might want to use SDL controls together with Lazarus generated
controls.
A friend of mine did this (using Delphi and later - as he did not get it
working with Lazarus for Linux) with Python. to create a graphical
editor that does graphic-card processor supported zoom and pan.
At which point presumably his code was- eventually- using something like
Linux DRI/DRM, which is only implemented for a comparatively small
number of graphics processors and which typically has additional
restrictions e.g. some minimum amount of on-card RAM. This is getting a
very long way from something which is guaranteed to run on almost any
system with minimal prerequisites.
