Well, personally I would prefer Allegro, since GRX lacks a good
documentation which is pretty important to me. Allegro is probably faster
too, and includes functions for a lot of other things, like sound, FLI, and
stuff like that.

If you however are interested in developing a portable program I would
recommend JLib, which has support for a lot of diffrent platform. It's
probably not as fast as Allegro, and currently lacks support for
high/truecolor modes, but it's easy to use, and comes with a good
documentation.  And it is very portable from what I have understood!
