hold on their pardner... SDL is SDL. OpenGL is OpenGL. You can use SDL for 
messaging, windowing, and input together with OpenGL for the actual graphics, 
but you can't use SDL and OpenGL together for graphics like "OpenGL draws the 
3D things and SDL draws the GUI" I'm designing a 2D OpenGL based game right 
now, using SDL for the cross-platform setup. However, you can't use both for 
graphics unless you are using some really tricky hack IIRC.
