For 2d, go Allegro...Or SDL. I Personally prefer SDL as I've used it more. ;P

Re: programming question
When I was using OpenGL (... probably going on 5-6 yrs ago now...) iirc it was a pain in the butt to do 2d w/ opengl, something about setting glOrtho and confusing myself. Using SDL atm and it's purty eezy

Re: programming question
Keep in mind that you can do tons of things with hardware accelerated 2D (OGL) that you can't with software rendering (SDL).
