[SDL] changing GFX card

The problem with the GFX cards doesn't happen to me. It's a friend of 
mine who is trying to run one of my progams that use SDL+OpenGL and it 
runs extremely slow on his machine. His configuration is:
ATI card + VooDoo 3D card

his ATI card doesn't have any 3D acceleration, and he uses VooDoo only 
as the 3D accelerator. The problem is that the VooDoo isn't detected and 
no hardware acceleration for OpenGL is used!!
Is it normal? Or have I to include some code in my application in order 
to detect the VooDoo card?
