Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Huh? Who is feeding this rumor? The SDL library works perfectly, at least
 with OS build 303. It works with all bit depths from 15-bit to 32-bit.

 Picture of a B2 XO running an SDL app started from the console:

 Just go for it:

 {{{
 yum -y install SDL_ttf-devel SDL-devel SDL_mixer-devel gcc make
 cd /var/cache/yum
 rpm -Uvh `find . -name \*.rpm`
 }}}

 That'll install Qt BTW, because Fedora's RPM dependencies are like cancer.
 SDL_Pango-devel is hopeless, though I forget exactly why.

 There are of course performance problems because of the 5:6:5 color, but
 that isn't SDL-specific at all. CPUs have instructions for handling 8-bit
 channels. There are no CPU instructions for 5-bit channels or 6-bit
 channels, or even any way to take the addresses of such channels.
