I'm using intel hd3000 graphics with the xf86-video-intel-2.21.15/MesaLib-9.2.2 drivers Note that if I type a letter (it doesn't seem to matter which letter) into the search box at the top, I see the icons for "backgrounds", "keyboard" and one other panel from gnome-control-center, but nothing else - this would seem to indicate that the graphics side of things is working? _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
