   That's what I'm running right now, is install tests.   
      
   The results are pure weirdness, for sure.   
      
   For example, everything I've installed so far, has   
   exactly the same GLXGEARS results. One claims to be   
   pure X11, another might be Wayland. There is supposed   
   to be a difference here... because I tested for this   
   before, and Wayland ran at half the speed of X11.   
   It would seem the video card is somehow smothering   
   the detail.
