Sure it supports OpenGL. You just need to have the appropriate hardware
drivers working.
Assuming you are using Linux (you didn't say which OS you have), check
these things:

# see which libraries are in use:
$ ls -l /usr/lib*/*libGL.so*

# verify you are actually getting OpenGL performance:
$ glxgears



If both of these check out okay, you should be in business.
