Jordan, A nice visual check on the presence of hardware accelerated gl support is the Representations demo in pymol. That renders eight rotating molecules which spread away from each other at startup. This demo is clearly slow if you don't have hardware acceleration (ie it should only take a couple of seconds for the molecules to spread out to their final positions).

Do you have another OpenGL demo that actually demonstrates "speed of rendering" then? Because they all look slow in comparison to 2.3.2 now.

You're just not noticing it rotate. It might look slow, but the reported framerate is right. If the gear rotates 721 degrees per frame, it'll look the same as 1 degree per frame. You can't "see" the framerate in the demo... That's why it's printed ;)

So, I've just confirmed this problem on a MacPro with an 8800GT card as well as a MacBook Pro with built-in 8600GT. The symptom is that glxgears claims high frame rates but does not actually animate with any speed at all (maybe 1-2 FPS). With the shipping Leopard version of the X server, the same demo flies.

Aside from the server change, this release is almost the same as the 2.4.0_beta1 release (meaning all the client side updates are still present). The only change outside the server is for libpng. libpng has been updated to address a security vulnerability (another reason I want to get out another stable release). See the draft release notes for full details:
