Raspberry Pi, for example, where allegro does not perform well

Allegro 4 or Allegro 5? I'd be surprised if A5 were slow on the Raspberry. A5 and SDL2 should have comparable hardware graphics acceleration. Some forum members have criticized using A5 over SDL2 because they were more familar with SDL2.

If you're feeling adventurous, build the D/A5 version that's yet in development.

Ah, Allegro 5 seems to have GLES support, yes. But it's implemented in a way that rendering context depends on X11 to work
So still Allegro 5 is not for me. I could add a dispmanx (native Rpi rendering context) but I have no time to add it to yet another library.
No word on the SDL2 port then? I understand you had something working already
