thks , extremetuxracer said no 3D , even when I set video -> extended
features 3D acceleration enabled :( 
I also got:
Mai 21 17:34:38 efilmsr.ptsi.corppt.com gnome-session[1162]: libGL
error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo

seems the problem is this : 
libGL: driver does not expose
__driDriverGetExtensions_swrast(): /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so:

Seems to me this bug finally pop upped because IIRC I see this some
releases ago (swrast load problem) .
