In fact I'm pretty certain it is a software renderer.  In addition to being very slow two factors lead me to that conclusion: firstly the Raspberry Pi's 'experimental GL Driver' is disabled (enabling it gives me a black screen) and secondly any program which attempts 3D rendering crashes.

So what puzzles me is that SDL_GetRendererInfo returns the renderer name as "opengl"; is that to be expected if in fact a software renderer is in use?  This is SDL 2.0.2 incidentally, which is what is available from the RPi repository.
