glxgears or glxinfo should give some indication.

Not sure, exactly. Direct rendering should be "yes", and there should be a ton of info on your card.

What card/processor do you have and what fps do you get for glxgears

(let it run for about 30seconds and watch your fps in the console you ran it from).

edit: also try glxgears -info (gives abbreviated info). Mine starts out as:

Quote:

GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL
GL_VERSION = 1.2 Mesa 5.0.2
[...]

If you get 4200 fps then you have hardware accelerated openGL for sure
