Hmm, interesting. Do you want to know about my real hardware, or what the machine in question was running on, which is VirtualBox's simulated hardware? I have a physical computer with an nVidia GTX 960 [which my fingers keep wanting to type as GTK 960], running Debian Stretch, and inside that is VirtualBox 5.1.4-dfsg-1+b1 (from the main Debian repos), in which I created a VM to mess around with Debian Stretch (and ultimately to patch xfwm4, although at time of writing the above posts, I was building the control, with the standard repo-provided window manager).
