I'm sorry I'm posting it on wrong list. I'm usuing currently Gnome 2.27.x and I've become worried about new dependency - clutter. OpenGL traditionally have been problematic on GNU/Linux, not mentioning other *nixes. Many cards are only partially supported and/or produces not exactly correct results. Proprietary drivers not only are proprietary but often are not stable. Unfortunately I have rather old and strange ATI card and OpenGL I can best describe as 'sometimes' working. If an game uses it I'm prepared to have blinking screen or artifacts (I'm using 2.6.30.4 kernel but problems was 'since always'). I don't use propertary drivers since it tended to crash computer. While recently situation improved much I guess that many users may have similar problems. When I tried new clutter-based gnometris I haven't see it running at all. The main portion of screen was the previous background. While I understend that it is not a gnome bug it shows that OpenGL is not perfect even on 'geeks' desktop. While I understend the need of eye-candies I'd be rather grateful if features would not be hard-depended on OpenGL - since it is not working everywhere - especially rather old/new/peculiar computers. Best regards PS. Please CC me in response.
