there is many ways, the usual is install a app that uses 3d and see how it responds

you can install google earth for example, other games in repos could let you test system too

you can enable compiz or kde desktop effects

the command glxinfo and glxgears in konsole will give you tons of info

glxinfo, on one of the lines should say direct rendering:yes

on glxgears you should have at least 700 fps when running the app without resizing it

mikeinsantarosa,

Open a Konsole/Terminal and type

glxinfo |grep "direct rendering"

this will give you a definitive yes or no
