GMA500 vs. G3 software render

[Bodhi Zazen]

OK, I took yesterdays daily build for a spin on my netbook.

First - looking great. Fedora boots Fedora 17 with no problems, X is working out of the box, no tweaking required.

gnome-shell (llvmpipe) is slow and uses more CPU, with spikes up to 70 % cpu time. There are times when typing into a terminal lags, it is on the border of usable. Probably worth a bug report ;)

kde - I am not normally a KDE user, but took the kde spin for a test drive. KDE is looking nice, great eye candy and noticeably better performance, obviously better then gnome-shell.

Hopefully this helps the Adams direct bug reporting (Fedora vs upstream, gnome vs llvmpipe).

What can I do to provide additional information to help improve gnome-shell ?

Indeed. Could even call it one happy Adams Family. 

Oh wait, that was the TV show, not the book. 




:D 
anyway, i'd say that indeed, starting with a default (sftware rendering) and offering the user the chance to choose (a la fallback graphics) could be a win-win situation. everyone can select for its own config, whatever fits best.
