Don't know why I did not realize that I had to have X started for the 
glxinfo test, brain skip on my part.

Started X and works great. Thanks to all the tips. Very responsive group 
here.

Numbers look impressive on the test, first line reads
70644 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14128.800 FPS

The successor lines average over 14500 FPS. That looks very impressive, 
  seems much higher then I would have expected.
