Use OpenGL directly to get a consistent API across graphics devices and platforms.

I've found that SDL has been extremely reliable in providing a consistent interface across varied hardware. SDL exposes control over multisampling also.

You can control vsync with:

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, vsync_enabled); 

And multisampling with::

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS, fsaa_enabled); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES, fsaa_quality); // try 2 or 4 

This library has a native cross platform implementation, so it fits well with something like a Java game which (in my opinion) should be cross platform but still access low-level features.
