Most hardware build in the last 5 years will have enough 3D capabilites to run it when you have appropriate drivers. If you don't have 3D you won't be able to run gnome-shell. When you have a look at the mailing list archive you will find that this has been discussion. In the end, 3D is state-of-the-art and making a 2D fallback is not worth the effort. You can still use gnome-panel then. > Hardware accelerated 3D on Linux appears to be a single-user affair at > the moment.

Well, I think for fast-user-switching this can certainly be fixed somehow in X11 because there is only one "real" user active. Regards, Johannes
