While I consider the latest development on gma500, present in many Atom
base netbooks, a great success and would like to say thank you to
developer(s), G3 software render negates all this for gnome shell as this
is extremely slow on Atom. With the fallback mode the G3 is working very
well on gma500. But the obvious question is, beside the questionable
future of acceleration on gma500 - what is the future of the fallback? Is
there still a list of devices that should use fallback "by default"? If
yes, then I would nominate the gma500 for it, as this is really horrible
experience, making many users scared, just after live CD/USB boot.
