The following sections need to be modified: 5.10. The GNOME desktop requires basic 3D graphics
The GNOME 3.14 desktop in Jessie no longer has fallback support for machines without basic 3D graphics. To run properly, it needs either a recent enough PC (any PC built in the last 10 years should have the required SSE2 support) or, for architectures other than i386 and amd64, a 3D-accelerated graphics adapter with EGL drivers. This should read: No chips without EGL are supported.It is a required feature of GNOME3.Your desktop will break without the proprietary drivers installed. 5.11. The GNOME desktop does not work with the AMD proprietary FGLRX driver Unlike other OpenGL drivers, the AMD FGLRX driver for Radeon adapters does not support the EGL interface. As such, several GNOME applications, including the core of the GNOME desktop, will not start at all when this driver is in use. It is recommended to use the free radeon driver, which is the default in jessie, instead. This should read: (SORRY...thats broken) Use flgrx because it gives better support. EGL can be added in to give support needed for GNOME 3 to function correctly.The open source drivers are broken and do not work by default.Both jessie and stretch are affected. I am so sick and tired of getting dropped to a shell or forced into installing a non-working gnome3 when mate works just fine.The problem is in GNOME3.Active bug squatters already know this, yet we still ship with this buggy software for some reason. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
