Description of problem: I tried using the Fedora 21 Gnome Wayland session on an old Lenovo T60 laptop with Intel 945GM graphics and it was painfully slow. The Gnome session appeared to be ok, but applications took many minutes to start, and even then there were glitches like no text in the application. I used a stop-watch and tried launching Nautilus and found: 0 sec: launch nautilus 71 sec: frame for nautilus window appears on screen 87 sec: icons appear in nautilus window, but without text labels ?? sec: I gave up after 5 minutes with still no text labels gnome-terminal has a similar problem with text: there isn't any. The cursor moves as I type, but all the text is invisible. I realize this GPU is quite old and possibly not supported with wayland, but I'm opening this bug just in case it should work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wayland-1.6.0-1.fc21.x86_64 gnome-session-wayland-session-3.14.0-1.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Fedora 21 on Lenovo T60 2. log in to Gnome Wayland session 3. launch nautilus Actual results: nautilus is slow and unusable Expected results: nautilus works normally Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
