You are right, Patrick, that the glxgears cannot be used with the "nv"
driver. At least I cannot reproduce this working combination at this time.

I qualify the above by stating that I am almost damn positive that I
have been able to run glxgears with the nv driver being specified in
xorg.conf recently: I ran glxgears only to find that my fps were in the
150+fps range which is not what the reading should be. I then edited
xorg.conf to use "nvidia" driver, re-ran glxgears and the stats. came up
to what they ought to be (for my video card etc.).
