I could be wrong, but specifications for this laptop suggest there
should be two graphics adapters inside. One is integrated inside CPU and
one is discrete. You can run 'glxgears' on any of them just fine, so
double check if you run it on nvidia adapter.
You can do it with this command:
    $ glxinfo | egrep 'glx|OpenGL'

Don't mind me if I'm being too paranoid.
