Control: reassign -1 src:mesa 22.2.4-1
Control: severity -1 normal

>From what you've said about the various different drivers in use in
different modes, this looks like a Mesa issue more than a gnome-shell
issue, so I'm reassigning this. It also seems to be hardware-specific
and has a straightforward workaround (using gnome-shell in Xorg mode),
so I'm setting the severity accordingly (Mesa maintainers: this is a
guess, please increase or decrease as you wish).

This is certainly not a Debian Policy section 3.8 violation, because
Policy §3.8 refers to a specific technical feature, the "Essential: yes"
field, and gnome-shell is not an "Essential: yes" package.

There are many 32-bit Dell laptops in the world. Which model is this
and which CPU and GPU does it have? Please try running

    reportbug --template libgl1-mesa-dri

and send the result to the bug address 1025213 at bugs.debian.org so that
the Mesa maintainers have the necessary context.
