No, this is not 100% true. If SDL on a specific platform supports 
another target than X11 (i.e aalib,kgi, etc), it should also work. If 
your computer crashes, it is not our fault.

For example I got DirectFB working with aalib in text mode running 
under NetBSD.

SDL support in DirectFB is mainly for debugging purposes and to run 
DirectFB programs on non-linux platforms. It would be better to support 
FreeBSD's framebuffer device directly. I once had a look at it, but 
could not get it working as I wanted to.
