@Travis I'm happy to go through whatever investigative steps you feel
are necessary, but I don't really know where to start.

Which package maintainers would have disabled OpenGL for this hardware
profile? What's the level at which it's disabled, e.g. kernel drivers
aren't loaded against the hardware or some X configuration option
suppresses it or something else.

Was it a likely a conservative decision, such that if I invest time in
specifically configuring the device there's a chance of getting OpenGL
active again?

I have a vague recollection that I had Compiz running on this device in
Jaunty, and a maverick change would explain this, and also suggests that
the hardware itself is capable, even if a regression in Maverick made it
wise to disable OpenGL.

I'm having problems with video playback on this device too, which would
be explained in the same way - pipelining the pixels through OpenGL is I
think how video players can be so responsive so without OpenGL the
pipeline doesn't run nearly as smooth.
