For starters check to see that it's loading the modules in your XF86Config
You should have some Load lines in the "Module" section something like:

Section "Module"
        .
        .
        Load "GLcore"
        Load "glx"
        .
        .
EndSection

I haven't actually tried any OpenGL programs on this computer, so I don't know
if that's all that is necessary.
