I read in other forums (mainly Linux based ones) that Gnome 3.8 still has the fallback option

It's a pity that functional and feature rich desktops are depending on 3d hardware acceleration when they could well do without it.

Perhaps Xfce is the only hope. Too bad. I use Gnome regularly on Linux and I was happy to see gnome 3 in OpenBSD as well.

On a related note, I did edit the file /usr/local/share/gnome-session/hardware-compatibility file to enable software rasterizer, and gdm loads (though slowly) but gnome-shell still doesn't. The original error was gone, though.

In my search, I did find this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Featu...ware_rendering

which seems to be of interest, but it is a Linux focussed article on the topic.
