Re: Inability to launch Cinnamon
i've just thought, this is a new computer, new this year and its not
got a 'open-gl' capable graphics card, not at least with the radeon
free drivers. So, if cinnamon needs 'open-gl' capabilities then no way
will it run on this machine! But i do have the relevant legacy drivers
from ati which maybe i should install, which would hopefully get rid
of all these problems. It doesn't play Gnome 3 , just drops me back to
the next DE in the list, which happens to be 'enlightenment', which to
me is just a load of eye-candy!
