You should have a look at http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/
"Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide fast access to the graphics framebuffer and audio device. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of
"Civilization: Call To Power." Simple DirectMedia Layer supports Linux, Win32, BeOS, along with ports in progress to MacOS, IRIX,
Solaris, and FreeBSD."
Is it good enough? ;) It can handle full screen. And as I know it can work in SVGA mode from a single console, so X is not needed.
Anyway I use RedHat, too ;)
