Yes it does, as OpenGL games will work fine on all integrated intel graphics
(lots of systems) and on all pre r5xx radeons (quite a few systems).

And who knows, with Fedora 9 we might have radeon 3d support over the whole
line, and nouveau 3d support for nvidea cards, and yes then we still want to
have this check, as there will always be some unsupported cards.

Right. Last I heard this was over 50% of the Linux market and I have one 
of these and they play the OpenGL games in Fedora just fine. Some of 
them like Nexuiz, I had to turn off a few fancy effects to get good 
speed however.
