The plan is to remove SDL depends and handle events ourselves.

that video is rather old and isnt actually the arm-camelot branch, but the old, and now removed, xbmc_on_arm branch... Still, its always had the SDL_GL flag set, and does work. Indeed when you remove that flag, it reverts to cpu based rendering and is v slow, so leave it in! (for now)
arm-camelot does currently run fine on the beagleboard, and mostly works. gui renders completely correctly (except screensaver dim). So a bit weird how it doesnt for you.

No real need for sdl1.3, as sdl1.2 does work (unless ive been dreaming it!) and as davilla has pointed out, it will be taken out back and shot to death eventually

Depends... if by that you mean on the PC, you compiled with --disable-gl, then itll use software fallbacks for everything... dead slow, even on beagle (1 frame, every 5seconds?)
But if you just remove that SDL_OPENGL flag in that one place, then its a different matter. It will switch to software based SDL parts only, the rest will still be hardware accelerated.
This is likely going to be just handling the windowing, and possibly the swpascreen.
This will cause it to be cpu intensive, and slow the rendering, but not be as slow as full sw rendering...
I cannot say whether your issue lies with Angstrom as i have not tested it on that in a very long time. Its real quick and easy to setup it with ubuntu (on another sd card, so can switch back to angstrom) so give it a try and find out.

whats with everyones obsession with that?
I would even go out of my way to purposely not do anything with anything apple related.
They make aesthetically nice tech, but is limited to hell... not sure about you, but i want my gadgets to DO stuff, and more importantly, do it the way I want it to, not just look pretty.
Form over function is NOT acceptable.
Reminds me of the motorola razr.... shit phone, but every one had to have one because it was fashionable.
Rant over.
