Hardware accelerated 3D does not work ATM. We need someone looking  
into updating the corresponding linux port in a suitable way. AFAIR  
this involves taking some source, massaging it somehow, compiling it  
on linux and then making a tarball. Any chance you volunteer to have a  
look into this? Nobody else is doing this ATM.
