Allegro-4.4.2 on extras-devel for N900.
Allegro 4 and Allegro 5 are cross-platform, libraries mainly aimed at video game and multimedia programming. They handle common, low-level tasks such as creating windows, accepting user input, loading data, drawing images, playing sounds, etc. and generally abstracting away the underlying platform. However, Allegro is not a game engine: you are free to design and structure your program as you like.

Issues:
- In fullscreen Allegro grabs the keyboard
'Grabs' = system wide shortcuts e.g. ctrl+backspace nor screenshots with ctrl+shift+p are not working. These are working in windowed mode.
- Sounds use too much processing power
Rename/remove file /usr/lib/allegro/4.4.2/alleg-alsadigi.so to disable sounds.
- Fullscreen is not fullscreen. Window manager's top-panel is still visible, but not focusable.
- Can't start from menu, because started application stay bottom than desktop -> nobody has focus.
