run glxinfo

it produces a lot of output, you might want glxinfo | less

If you see something like 'Direct Rendering' or 'Direct Rendering: Yes' 
then you have hardware GL working. If you see mutterings about software 
and MesaGL then it's software.  (exact output varies somewhat from OS to 
OS and system to system)
