On my wife's computer which has an Ivy-Bridge CPU and Intel H77 chipset, Gnome3 is fully enabled (Debian 7.5, linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64)

However on my daughter's computer which has a Haswell CPU and Intel H87 chipset, Gnome3 is not enabled at all, this despite the fact that the linux-image has been upgraded to linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 (the linux-image had to be upgraded as there are issues with reboot and power shutdown using the default linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64)

What happened?

Is there a Wheezy-backport of newer versions of Gnome desktop?
