It requires OpenGL or Mesa, as cbagger said.  If you think you can get OpenGL working properly in DSL, I'd be most pleased to hear about it.
I'd love to be able to make Cube and Wings3D extensions.

Maybe this was the wrong forum to post in it.

I was thinking generally. I don't have the time or skills to make such a dsl.

What I was wondering is that if this is technical possible. If it is, I am wondering if this wouldn't boost performance, since the OS itself take less resources?

Unless you apt-get Xfree86 and install accelerated drivers.

OOh i have to go install Doom 3 on DSL now!!!

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

As for Suse eating resources, that's mostly KDE doing the eating, and a few services that can be disabled.  Sometimes I run games in the place of a window manager, which could give you the bare essentials you're looking for.
