A while back we worked on getting 3D graphics working on the BBB using Robert Nelson’s 3.12 Kernel [1]. Stef Boerrigter managed to get 3D graphics working using Yocto which uses the same TI Kernel layer used in Angstrom. You may want to contact Stef to see how he got this to work.

3D acceleration has been reported to work by several folks if you're
using raw frame buffers (so something like QT). If you need X11
support, it's still not available from TI.

I haven't gotten this running myself, since I currently need X11 drivers
for my application UI. The build and install process is non-trivial, so
be prepared for an uphill battle if you want to replicate the results.
