Surely I don't > need a proprietary driver. Never used inxi, no idea what it's querying.

Which desktop environment? It may be related to https://bugs.debian.org/776746 > Isn't a thin client supposed to be using it's local X server and video > drivers? It uses the client hardware, but hardware accelleration requires coordination from the server-side software that typically isn't available via ssh X11Forwarding or even plain X11 traffic (e.g. LDM_DIRECTX=true). Many desktop environments no longer support running X remotely, unfortunately... live well, vagrant
