The following is printed to the terminal right before it disappears: "intel_do_flush_locked failed: No space left on device" My second monitor uses a resolution of: 1920x1080 The video card in my laptop is this: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30b1 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at f4600000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] I/O ports at 4000 [size=8] Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at f4680000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: i915 I believe the problem is due to the amount of memory available, 256MB, and GNOME Shell's use of 3D acceleration. If I try using GNOME Shell with both my laptop's screen and the second monitor (not mirrored, so 1024 + 1920 wide), everything is unusably slow with mouse clicks taking 10 seconds or more to respond. If I try to use metacity + GNOME Panel, it works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.4.1-5.fc17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable second monitor (disabling laptop's own screen) 2. use GNOME Shell 3. open some windows (say 10) and work for a little while Actual results: GNOME Shell disappears Expected results: GNOME Shell persists. (Ideally, it could work with 1024+1920 wide screens too (so including first monitor.) Additional info: I tried running gnome-shell under gdb but it exits normally after printing that error message. I don't think anything is actually crashing. I didn't see anything particularly relevant in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I could look again if something should be there.

Also, I believe the bug is induced by a limitation in the driver discussed in bug 699705 comment 6: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699705#c6 Adam Jackson speculated that it might be fixed by F16 but it's F17 and still a problem, so I suppose no one has had the time ot tackle this yet.

However, I suppose I'd like to modify Expected Behaviour to: * either GNOME Shell persists, or * upon failure, a prompt offers to put me into fallback mode (GNOME Panel + metacity) or it just automatically does and gives me a message noting why.

I'm not on Fedora so not going to comment too much, just want to watch the bug for a fix! Seems to happen very regularly when new windows are opened.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
