The purpose of SDL is to provide a portable interface, so yes, on
Windows it uses DirectX calls. Obviously on other platforms it uses
different underlying calls.
The rumours of OpenGL's death have been greatly exaggerated. It's
supported on every major platform, and the major video card
manufacturers will make sure it's supported under Windows Vista, by
providing it themselves.
