That's not really what we meant by "available for all hardware". The idea is instead that you'd use the llvmpipe driver; the blacklist is of drivers we know _don't_ work. This isn't wired up for all hardware yet, unfortunately, but coming soon. In the meantime, if as root you do 'mv /usr/lib*/dri/i915_dri.so /tmp', and restart X, you should find yourself switched onto the llvmpipe driver for GL (as visible in 'glxinfo | grep renderer'), and gnome-shell should work. I recommend using mesa-8.0.1-8.fc17 or later, as there are performance improvements in there relative to earlier builds. Ha! Well then you can obviously see why I misinterpeted 'available for everyone' statement. How can you be sure drivers _don't_ work? Like I said when the feature was announced I went an installed fedora and ran the full experience at excellent speeds with good fps. I was sure it worked on my driver with gallium. Anyway, I've ran 'mv /usr/lib*/dri/i915_dri.so /tmp' as root and it did switch my driver to: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300) Which before it was Mesa DRI drivers, so that worked. Restarted X and it didn't switch to shell, restarted computer and it still didn't make the switch. I'm running mesa-8.0.1-8.fc17 but mesa-8.0.1-9 is out so maybe I'll have better luck with that. Thanks for the support, hope I can fully switch to fedora soon. It's 5x faster than ubuntu. I reinstalled fedora 17 rc2 and fully updated. Afterwards I ran 'mv /usr/lib*/dri/i915_dri.so /tmp' and I am now running the full gnome 3 experience. This is something that I've wanted since gnome 3 came out, thank you so much. (In reply to comment #2) > Ha! Well then you can obviously see why I misinterpeted 'available for > everyone' statement. How can you be sure drivers _don't_ work? Well, we get reports like this one, where someone says "I'm using i915_dri.so on my 865 and windows don't have content". Clearly I need to push an update for pre-i915 chips that defaults to llvmpipe. Actually I believe we found the bug behind this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 813648 *** |
