</I>&gt;<i> &gt;This discussion has been held various times before. Please read the wiki
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;link. The reason I'm forwarding the email is to get feedback about the
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;impact on Mageia.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> For the impact on Mageia, I think that depends entirely on how they
</I>&gt;<i> deal with the display performance issue.  Gnome3 should display
</I>&gt;<i> efficiently on hardware without accelerated display, particularly
</I>&gt;<i> for text display.  Software emulation of hardware acceleration
</I>&gt;<i> should only be used where strictly necessary.
</I>
In case the drivers are not good enough, GNOME 3 will be unusable.
Something that another distribution brought up is that ideally something
like that should be detected during installation, so that this can be
taken into account up-front.

&gt;<i> It might be useful to migrate gnome3 to fallback mode, instead of
</I>&gt;<i> the inverse.  That is, modify fallback mode so that it can perform
</I>&gt;<i> all the functions now in regular gnome3, including using hardware
</I>&gt;<i> acceleration of display where available.  Thus using the current
</I>&gt;<i> regular gnome3 as a testing ground for development of the current
</I>&gt;<i> fallback mode.
</I>
I again suggest to read the wiki page for the issues with fallback mode.
