"VBoxTestOGL --test 2D --test 3D --log vboxtest.log" does not 
output anything to logfile.  But just once, vboxtest.log was 
generated and it looks like 2D and 3D OK.  I do not know this 
mysterious behavior.

(I have installed nvidia-driver-256.53 on 9-current.)
Are there something I have missed to run VBoxTestOGL??
