After boot I get the message "running in software rendering mode ...". I know this has been asked many times, but every answer is either very specific or boils down to "install proprietary driver".
Normally, I'm using auto-logon. The error is gone when I log out and then log in again (witout rebooting). It's also gone when enabling manual log in. So it seems to me that this is a timing problem, meaning it's fixed by adding something like "sleep 1" in a config file.
How can I debug this? Where does Cinnamon write its log files? I can't find anything in the syslog.
Thanks for your help!
regards,
Martin
