Yeah, but Michael suggested that gnome-shell is crashing with your |
| 36 |
particular combination of card/drivers. It is possible, for the quick |
| 37 |
search I did for this problem. |

What it is true is that gnome-shell is dying when gdm calls it: |

If it is related to the video card/driver that you use, try reemerging |
| 46 |
cogl and clutter; it doesn't matter that a world upgrade don't want to |
| 47 |
reemerge it, sometimes the ebuilds change without changing versions. |
| 48 |
My versions and useflags of cogl and clutter are: |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
# emerge -1pv clutter cogl |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Calculating dependencies ... done! |
