Gnome shell goes alway into an "fallback" mode while "Forced > Fallback Mode" is definitely off. Just checked to be sure. Yeah, ugly corner case. I was hoping to have a tristate there by now. Part of the issue is people who still want to play quake in hardware, which, nngh. You'd kind of like to fix this with a gnome-session patch like: --- if (_has_hardware_gl (display) != 0) { - _print_error ("No hardware 3D support."); - goto out; + /* Check for acceptable software support */ + setenv ("LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE", "1", 1); + if (_has_hardware_gl (display) != 0) { + _print_error ("No hardware 3D support."); + goto out; + } } --- But I'm pretty sure that also needs a fix to libGL since it's not currently expecting that variable to change from under it, and having just tried to write the patch to fix _that_ it's a bit sketchy but probably works for this limited case. Mind testing the following scratch builds to see if they give you shell on llvmpipe? http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/ajax/task_3807698/ http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/ajax/task_3807716/ - ajax
