Support for --disable-acceleration-check would be a solution for those who want to use GNOME on a RHEL7 box over X2Go, VNC, NX, etc.

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-03-16 15:43:33 UTC

But disabling the acceleration check won't make it work automatically on platforms that don't support OpenGL.  It just disables the check, the code still requires the features.
