So I'm still trying to find my way into this gnome-shell 3D world. In the process, I'm running into display corruption on my Intel Q35-based system. I'd like to try to track it down; in particular, I'd like to figure out if the problem exists in the mainline kernel so I can report it right to the source, preferably with a bisection. My problem: I can't build a kernel which consents to run gnome-shell. What I get (on typing "gnome-shell --replace") is: failed to create drawable Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter. As far as I can tell, my kernel configuration is the same as Fedora's for the relevant options - i915, KMS by default, etc. But the Fedora kernel works, mine does not. Other interesting observations: - The Xorg.0.log output appears to be identical in both cases. - The glxgears benchmark (known to be the definitive measure of 3D performance :) runs ten times faster on my custom kernel than on the Fedora kernel. On my kernel, I don't get the "using vertical sync" message. So I'm mystified. Any ideas? Might there be some magic in the Fedora initrd that I'm missing (I've never used initrd on my systems)?
