I don't think you have hardware acceleration enabled whenever you see
direct rendering: Yes. I am currently using the vesa driver and still:
------
$ glxinfo|grep ender
direct rendering: Yes
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)
GL_MESA_ycbcr_texture, GL_NV_blend_square, GL_NV_conditional_render,
------
The llvm stuff above indicates software rendering, I believe.
(BTW, I am using Gnome 3 in flashback mode, in sid.)

What do you mean when you say Gnome3 is disabled or fails to load?
What are the actions you take to run gnome 3, and what are the error
messages or misbehaviors you see?
(And, also, how are you setting things up before running glxinfo as
above?)
