Hello,
I am wondering if: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD 2600 Series]
is acceptable for the new gnome shell? It seems to work sometimes, and at other times not. For example, it was working in rawhide (I could get a shell, anyway), but now it does not work, nor has it ever worked in F15Alpha TC1.
Is there a "better" vga card for the shell in the radeon series? Is there an utility that can be run to check if the VGA card is supported in gnome 3.
It should work; if it doesn't, that's a bug. File it against xorg-x11-drv-ati. I should probably set up a tracker for 'Shell doesn't work' bugs. What happens when it fails? Do you get the fallback mode, or an uglier failure?
Usually fall back in rawhide. In F15Alpha tc1, mutter falls over. There is already a bz for the mutter failure. Will test more after todays branched-report updates.
Thanks for the reply.
