I would recommend our Castle Game Engine
http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/ . It can be used together with
Lazarus form (as TCastleControl, descendant from Lazarus TOpenGLControl).

Or you can use CastleWindow unit, which gives you a window with OpenGL
context, without any Lazarus/LCL dependencies. It includes TCastleWindow
class, which is kind of "modern and object-oriented GLUT". It works on
Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Android, iOS...

You can use there high-level Castle Game Engine features for 2D and 3D
rendering, but you can also write your own direct OpenGL calls in
TCastlewindow.OnRender, OnOpen, OnClose and such callbacks.
