Actually, SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) would probably correlate with DirectBlah. With it, you can do rendering, audio, joystick, network, etc within one set of APIs. It's become quite popular with open-source game developers (what few there are), and can take advantage of any available 2d/3d hardware acceleration that X and/or manufacturers' drivers will provide.
