+On my system, running mga2, unblacklisting llvmpipe (so as to use 
+regular gnome3, instead of classic/fallback mode) makes all display in 
+regular gnome3 run extremely slow.
+It must be that llvmpipe is used for all display, even when acceleration 
+isn't indicated.
+
+BTW, regular gnome3 might well be called "tablet mode".  A lot of 
+extensions have been developped to revert to a display more like gnome2.
