I've now discovered that it's only my account that gets relatively slow glxgears---the only account where I copied almost everything directly from SuSE 9.3. So, most likely, some setting I copied is causing the problem an probably I can fix it easily when I take time to work out what it is.
In that case especially check your environment for _NV* variables, and check your access rights to /dev/nv* (should be ok, if glxinfo says direct rendering: yes).
I checked all those. They are OK, though I set an unusually large number of environment variables, so some other setting might be causing the problem.
It might be worthwhile testing everything on a new, empty user account.
I did. I fact it work's on my son's accout, which is one reason I didn't notice there was a problem for so long and why I've not put a huge ammount of effort into solving it. He uses accelated graphics all the time; I seldom use it. -- JDL
