Title: enable gnome-shell to run with software rendering (llvmpipe) Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: fedora 17/18 have gnome-shell running with software rendering (llvmpipe). On Ubuntu gnome-shell will only run when hardware 3D is available. This would be particularly useful for the ubuntu gnome live CD's llvmpipe is currently blacklisted in gnome-session hardware-compatibility. /usr/share/gnome-session/hardware-compatibility Removing the blacklisting, is enough to get both gdm and gnome-shell running with llvmpipe (no fallback mode!). I have tested this in a VM and performance seems ok, definitely useable. It is atleast as fast as the equivalent Unity session, if not a little faster.
