Quoting William Witt william@witt-family.net:
I have GNOME 3 installed on my laptop for testing from fcrozat's home repository. It works well and I'm looking forward to the release. The question I have is this:
Is there a way to force it into non-openGL mode?
Then we would call it gnome 2. If you do not have hardware accel, then it will fall back to the 'panel' mode known from gnome 2.x.
