Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7+deb7u1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

First boot after wheezy install produced a notice that gnome failed to install, video card may be inadequate.

I installed legacy nvidia driver: nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-dkms, which froze system
Next I replaced nvidia MX 4000 128 MB AGP card with new Radeon HIS HD 4650 Fan Native HDMI 1GB (128bit) DDR3 AGP video card
Then complete reinstall of wheezy, apparently successful.

Got same result: At first boot, Gnome3 desktop failed to load, got warning that video card might be inadequate; substitute desktop loaded instead.

I had expected Gnome3 desktop to load successfully, instead.

It seems this cannot be due to an inadequate video card, as the error message suggested.
