How come?  Just a simple verification if the hardware is in order, to
see whether a specific video card works in another system (again, if
you have one where it will work in, of course), for instance.

Have you yet?  I saw you mentioning you would in other posts, too, but
I don't recall you writing about the 'outcome' of it.

How do you know that for sure?  For instance, do you have certain X11/
DECwindows modules for hardware-acceleration loaded?  I don't recall
how and what is exactly utilized (with regard to "Open3D" and such),
but maybe it's the reason you might only see the mouse cursor?
