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.
Nope, he used standard (JEDI-) SDL functions lite stretchblit() os
similar. Same should always be available and executed by the hardware if
available (supposedly always with PC-graphic cards) or implemented
somewhere in the driver code if not supported by the hardware.
