While not an effective benchmark, but a good tool to check that DRI/DRM
is working.

Grated, it would have been nice if out-of-the-box OSS OpenGL
benchmarking and testing tools (outside the closed benchmarks and game
demos used by the Phoronix suite), but for now, we are more-or-less
limited to glxgears...
