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).

Real machine:
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce
GTX 960] (rev a1)
Virtual machine:
rosuav@debian:~$ lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH
VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
