Apparently the fgl_glxgears is designed to work with the fglrx driver which
is for the ATI cards.  At least, that is what I think I am reading but
would like
confirmation.  Therefor, no alternative to glxgears for Nvidia is
possible for me.
My readings look like:
920 frames in 5.0 seconds = 183.864 FPS
1025 frames in 5.0 seconds = 204.991 FPS
789 frames in 5.0 seconds = 157.792 FPS
972 frames in 5.0 seconds = 194.390 FPS
954 frames in 5.0 seconds = 190.791 FPS
1019 frames in 5.0 seconds = 203.791 FPS

Pretty sad, but as I said the 3D games seem to work well anyway.

Cheers,
Bob
