Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Cinnamon is noted to be installable, but by default on Radeon systems 6x
series
(and newer) 3D rendering is in SOFTWARE mode post install.
Installing 3d drivers from the repos for fglrx sets us up with HARDWARE 3D
rendering but renders cinnamon completely unusable. It crashes on login (and
keeps crashing) leaving no option but to kill the X server from the command
line(and try again with different window manager).I have tried with live
cd as
well with same responce.

This crash required the proprietary fglrx (AMD Catalyst) driver, which has
been removed from Debian: it was last shipped in jessie and is gone from
stretch onwards. It is not installable on any currently supported release
(verified: no fglrx-driver/fglrx-modules-dkms candidate in trixie or sid),
so the reported condition can no longer occur. AMD GPUs now use the free
amdgpu/radeon drivers.
The crash also originated in fglrx's GLX/OpenGL stack under muffin rather
than in cinnamon itself. Closing as obsolete.
Thanks for the report.
