For what it's worth, my openwrt ben runs Quake quite well. So I don't think it's fair to say it has nonexistent capabilities, just limited ones.

IPU only accelerates video conversion/scaling, not even basic blit/fill ops. Not very good fit for realtime interactive graphics, much less 3D. It has SIMD processing unit (MXU), akin to MMX on early pentiums. It does not support floating point either, but can be used to accelerate software 3D rasterization. It's unlikely that it will ever be supported by any mainstream opengl (mesa?) implementation. There are MXU-optimized libjpeg and closed source mplayer plugins for xvid/h264, but that's about it.
