The result of my glxinfo | grep render is: Yes
Where should I look?

I disagree with what you said about Intel. My duaghter's CPU is the latest Intel i7-4770 (Haswell) with Intel H87 chipset. Graphics capability in integrated in the CPU, right?
What is strange is this:
linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64 works flawlessly with my wife's Intel i7-3780 (Ivy-Bridge) with Intel H77 chipset (which is the version prior to Haswell). Gnome3 works flawlessly too.
However I had to upgrade linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64 to Wheezy backported linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 when using Intel i7-4770 (Haswell) due to problems of rebooting and shutdown. In addition, Gnome3 failed to load even after the linux-image backported upgrade.
Should I report this as a bug?
