sorry i think it is only if you do set the OPENGL flag in set_mode(), 
something like this :
pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600), HWSURFACE | OPENGL | DOUBLEBUF)

I mostly use OPENGL for my stuff. But if i remember well you can tell 
pygame to use the hardware acceleration for the normal pygame 2D to 
improve performance.
