Oops, my mistake, in the past I have installed the NVidia drivers,
after I disabled it but not removed.
The test was done with NVidia,  glxgears showed another time not to be
a reliable test.

With a webGL test I have these results:

firefox http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html
           with 11FPS
optirun firefox
http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html   with
32FPS

These data are quite correct, NV555 is about 3 time faster than Intel
HD Graphics 3000.


THANKS, now all work perfectly, the next frontier will be the HDMI ports.


Bye Bye, Moreno
