You understand correctly - currently there is no 3D acceleration in the Glamo 
drivers. The documentation is under NDA so only Openmoko staff can write the 
driver, and there are more important things for them to work on. duke3d is 
just 2d, same as always.

SDL should be in the repositories:

opkg list |grep -i sdl

2007.2 images included SDL-based games, sou you could start by having a look 
at those. I've never done anything with SDL conI can't really say much more.
