I dunno what could have happened (is gnome-shell already available in sid? oh, my, here it comes...) but if 3D acceleration is not available, gnome should enter into a "fallback" mode (kinda gnome2 desktop) and do not use/load gnome-shell at all. What is the error you are getting? Any pop-up message, anything under the usual files (~/.xsession-errors, /var/log/Xorg.0.log), can you at least login to the system from a tty? The more information you provide, the better :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
