Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-08-26 08:50:25 UTC
Since I am using gnome-shell-3.8.x I see no problems caused by using gallium with intel card, maybe the following could be dropped:
        if has_version "media-libs/mesa[video_cards_intel]" ||
           has_version "media-libs/mesa[video_cards_i915]" ||
           has_version "media-libs/mesa[video_cards_i965]"; then
                elog "GNOME Shell is unstable under gallium-mode i915/i965 mesa drivers."
                elog "Make sure that classic architecture for i915 and i965 drivers is"
                elog "selected using 'eselect mesa'."
                if ! has_version "media-libs/mesa[classic]"; then
                        ewarn "You will need to emerge media-libs/mesa with USE=classic."
                fi
        fi

I have tested in two intel cards (from a i5-sandy and i7 processors)
