I've modified your test program to follow what is done in flightgear,
and looks like the problem is the lack of acceleration when drawing
triangles in point mode. So, if this is right, we can't get the
acceleration again without changing the way lights are drawn.

The test program now draws the same data as triangles or just points
primitives (toggle with the p key). And you can toggle the
GL_POINT_SMOOTH with the s key. The r key stop the rotation to better
view the result. And the m key change the polygon mode (fill, line or
point). The frame-rate is printed to stdout every second.
