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.
