Our DirectDraw implementation is good. Sure there are performance issues in some cases but those can be fixed. SDL is not suited for DirectDraw emulation because it doesn't offer all the functionality we need. Second, SDL on Linux uses X11 and other APIs directly. Games running on Wine use win32 APIs for window creation and other tasks which doesn't work with Linux SDL.

Dear Developers,
I just toying with SDL for a month and so. I am just wondering is there any possibilities to use SDL as a WINE DirectDraw wrapper.
From my experience, SDL is not such a bad 2D graphics library and very easy to use and implement and has many flexible functions.
