gnome-shell segfaults. I remember some problems with gnome-shell and GL from the dri-devel-ML. What video-card are you using? Drivers/version? Is there any other WM you can start, execute gnome-shell --replace in a console and dump the output here? Could you try running gnome in "fallback-mode"? Afaik you can enable this with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback > thanks again, > allan Best, Michael
