The only thing glxgears tests is if OpenGL is working (aka enabled or 
disabled).

Other than that it measures nothing. Even the numbers are suspect.

It's like calling out to your 5 year old kid "Are you being naughty?" and they 
answer "no". You know the kid is in the house, but still have no idea what 
they are doing. And their answer is definitely not to be trusted :-)
