Given that SDL isn't hardware-specific, but is effectively a wrapper
over whatever your system provides, I wouldn't be in the least surprised
if it weren't possible to tell it what hardware to use.

Your system-wide SDL preferences may offer more options, but that won't
necessarily help your case.

All I can suggest is, look at the man page; if it doesn't explain how to
do it, then there's fairly good odds that it can't be done. (Though in
some cases that just means that no one's implemented it yet.)
