Airport is a 2D game on the Ovi store and almost certainly doesn't use the 3D hardware.

Agree with the original OP that there are a lack of 3D games (or games in general or apps) but this thread will not change that. A predicate to good professional grade content on the N900 is a functioning software store so that developers can be paid. There is only so much FOSS can provide for platforms like the N900. A paid app environment doesn't exist at the moment, but I have hopes it will soon. In my opinion though this is too late for the N900 platform, but future handsets will be covered.

Almost forgot:

HoopsFrenzy
and
SoccerFrenzy

Both are commercial software that use the GPU. I think both were ported by the author that originally wrote them for the iPhone.

This is exactly the kind of development that needs community support from N900 users. (That means buy them).

AFAIK It *is* linking against libqt4-opengl, so it's using the accelerator in some way (probably via QGraphicsView).

A Very Good real-time strategy with hardware-accelerated 3D graphics is Warzone 2100. I found it in some thread around, here are the commands to install it (it has no sound):

Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get -y install wget libsdl-net1.2
apt-get clean
cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://nakkiboso.com/wz2100_0.2_armel.deb
dpkg -i wz2100_0.2_armel.deb
rm wz2100_0.2_armel.deb

@darkwolf :
Yeah, Angry Birds uses the gpu.
I once had a episode where all gpu accelerated games didn't work .
Angry birds was among them.
A reboot fixed this btw.
Some more for your list:
- Zenbound,
- Coasterrush 3D
- Towerbloxx
