Gnome Fallback mode
 
I've been trying to load extra gnome themes and I can never find them or see any difference. I think I see why, my system is coming up in gnome fallback mode. From what I'm reading that means I have some kind of hardware drive issue.

Can someone give me an idea where to begin troubleshooting? I am at a lost trying to picture the layers needed to make the Linux GUI work. There is xsessions, GDM3, Gnome or XFCE and metacity but I have no idea what interacts with what and how to tell of any of these layers are working. This is sure confusing...

I have a Vaio SVE14135CXB http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-...d#/downloadTab running Debian Wheezy.

Gnome 3 works perfectly well with i915 graphics maybe you need to install fimrware-linux-nonfree
Also in the mean time post Xorg log, so that someone can let you know if the driver is loading.
I may not be able to prersonally help you with the problem , but there are quite a few experienced users here who can.
Was this an upgrade, as it, is making note of a distro-upgrade.

Thanks, I tried posting my Xorg.0.log but it says it's too large. Should I try to attach it or something?

I am also posting a new xsession-errors log becauuse I realized I had chosen gnome classic at the log in screen trying to troubleshoot this situation.
