Now the hard part with OpenGL or and 3D interface is its massive, we probably need to write another few thousand lines of code to get a decent r600 3D driver that can do GL2.0. Now gnome-shell use of GL is a very known quantity same for compiz, we also have the g-s authors on hand to tell us what is happening. So debugging g-s or compiz is insanely easy compared to say blender or wine games. We (Red Hat or Fedora) currently don't have access to any sort of conformance suite for our GL though Intel and VMware have started at least doing more and more regression test work lately so less and less crap is making it way into the mainline and thus to users. So hopefully things get better as we move forward and more companies invest time in the 3D driver stack.
