The first 2 times I tangled with this I commented out/ removed the entry. Saturday I gave up in disgust and just shutdown leaving the line standing. Tonight I booted and thought I would try and see if the 'holiday' had somehow magically made things work. Lo and behold glxgears started running. I had every time only restarted X thinking that would be sufficient :( It didn't even enter my head that I might have to reboot to get it working. Thanks very much for your help. Alexander
