Hmmm! I don't run Gnome, but rather IceWM, and glxgears runs from a
terminal with no squawking, but it looks quite different than when I
used it on other distros. I don't get the frame rates echoed to the
terminal, and it looks as though it's running in syrup about 20 frames
per sec!

      Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ... If you write
      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
