Thanks for the link, but it seems my problem isn't hardware
accelleration after all. It seems that under Windows, PyOpenGL always
does an implicit vsync, but not under Linux. It took me a while to
realize that my fps were suspiciously close to my monitor's framerate...

Does anyone know a way to turn this on or off? I guess it's no longer a
problem, just an oddity; in fact, it might be beneficial (my programs
won't really get any actual framerate faster than the monitor, will they?)

Thanks though,
