Re: gnome not working properly on powerpc testing or unstable

I don't think I've got fam installed. Maybe thtat's the problem but
if so then the dependencies are not quite right.
I have libfam0c102 installed but not the fam daemon. I might try
installing that and see how I go.
I installed gnome from unstable and it does the same thing. The
splash screen comes up straight away and then just sits there.
Eventually sawfish appears but that is after a long delay.
Is it something with my X server or possible something with my
kernel. Maybe I need a particular module loaded (eg. sound or
something).
I am using XF86 v 4.3.0 from experimental. I need > 4.3 to support my
hardware.
These are the error messages reported in .xsession-errors:
