Long time no talk, hope all is well. GNOME shell should work on any graphics card 5 years or older. We should have good data backing this up as I know that Fedora has done QA on a number of hardware to test gnome-shell in order to know what hardware profiles shell will work on. I read many testimonials where shell has worked nicely on netbooks which don't have good 3D hardware. A the very least, llvmpipe makes software rendering work fairly well on older hardware without a 3D card. sri _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list >
