Download and install i686 GNOME3 (1.0.0) Live from gnome3.org. 2. Update the system through zypper 3. Download and install (RPM for 11.4) ATI fglrx 11.3. 4. Login into GNOME3/gnome-shell.

As a kind of a workaround I set Large Text to "on" in the menu (the one with the man in the circle). It doesn't flicker anymore but there seems to be generally a problem with rounded window corners etc... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To anyone experiencing this problem, it's possible to get a mostly-normal looking panel by installing the Elementary gnome shell theme (http://gnome-shell.deviantart.com/gallery/28081982#/d371nhf). There are still some graphical glitches, but the panel itself displays all right.

You'll get glitches on the icons (which can be removed by opening the gnome-tweak-tool and changing the icon theme, then reverting)... but you will end up with screen tearing after some time of usage... It's not really the theme the main problem, is driver issue with fglrx. What would probably help would be finding the real cause and ask whoever has some contact with ATI/AMD driver team and ask them to fix this. They did fixed and prepared a special release for Unity/Ubuntu... They should equally sensitive to GNOME3, specially when they are a openSUSE sponsor... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
