Good catch that is kind of a corner case were a 3D driver is present
but "not good enough".
You should be able to start gnome-shell using

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gnome-shell --replace

But not sure what we should do here and how having a native driver
will work with having software using vgem.

Ajax?
