With ChromeOSs new Linux app support, I decided to give LDCad a whirl. Downloaded and ran setup.sh. Installed gtk2 and glu but not sure I needed to. Started up fine but man is it slow. I plan to tinker some more to see if I can boost performance.

Is it using software OpenGL for those apps or does the graphics hardware on chrome os devices suck in general ?

I don't know. I would assume that is on software only due to the nature of the virtulization container ChromeOS uses for Linux apps.
