OpenGL ES under X11 is in MPlayer (with lots of issues still though),
however not for framebuffer.
I simply don't think it is possible to run OpenGL (whether ES or not)
hardware-accelerate on the framebuffer with any standard Linux
distribution, nor do I think that drivers for that even exists
for common desktop hardware.
If all that did exist, adding (basic at least) support for
it would not be that hard I think.
