1 Make sure you have the latest Raspbian :

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Set GPU memory to 64Mb
Reboot

3 Install the experimental OpenGL Driver, sound & glxgears demo

4 Enable ‘GL Driver’

$ sudo raspi-config

This will start the config utility. Select ‘Advanced Options’, then select ‘GL Driver’, then select ‘Enable’, then select ‘Yes’ to reboot and enable the driver.

5 Test driver using glxgears
