I think it makes more sense to skip SDL and directly use the linux framebuffer.
Eliminate a layer. You already have direct support for all other 'platforms' 
that SDL supports, so why add another (changing) dependency/point of failure?
It may be initially harder, but will prove easier to maintain in the long run.
