Shell will run fine without 3D acceleration, it'll just be a bit slow and use some CPU time. It wouldn't do *this*, though. It's probably more a case of a bug in the radeon driver for the hardware in question which GNOME's rendering happens to hit, while the other desktops don't. I'd file the bug either against xorg-x11-drv-ati in RH Bugzilla or Product xorg, Component Driver/Radeon in bugs.freedesktop.org , including the stuff described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
