Sorry about the confusion. nouveau is on the BigBox. this laptop uses i915 and it works. There is only the one GPU here.

The point is that the Windows driver works too, (glew loads it corectly, glViewer sees it.) I have seen "Use Software Rendering" selectable in many applications and my guess is that the GDI renderer is for that.

jogamp seems to be selecting it by default.
