I was searching on some forums but the links are down since all the information I found was posted in 2008 or 2009.

I would like as many people as possible to give some news on this topic because I can not find any useful information.
P.S.: I am currently woking on to make some desktop Linux distros work on the N900 (Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu). I can imagine to use these distros to play games instead of Maemo because we do not have any restrictions.

Sorry for everyone for beeing lazy to read everything on the internet.
When I installed and played it on my device it said that software render was working and the FPS was also low ~20 so I thought that HW acceleration is not working.

For the N900, the ioquake3 package uses OpenGL ES rendering, which is directly hardware supported in the Cortex A8 processor in the phone:
http://www.arm.com/products/processo.../cortex-a8.php
I'm not sure why you think it's using SW emulation for the rendering. Do you somehow have an N900 without a Cortex A8 CPU? Did you passs a special flag to the binary to force SW rendering?
If your FPS are low in the game, it much more likely due to available system resources.
How many applications do you have running in the background?
How many daemons do you have running?
How many widgets do you have running on your desktops?
How much RAM is available for the game to use?
Do you have the game data files on an SD card with a very low I/O rate?
