gnome-shell help?

Hey, I should start off saying I’ve been using Linux for a few years, but I just switched over to openSUSE so this is the first time I’ve been on these forums. So if I posted this in the wrong spot I’m sorry. But to the problem. I just installed gnome-shell and it works fine until I put my mouse to the top left of the screen to access well… everything. My best information for you guys is the output I get from running gnome-shell --replace so here it is:

Any ideas?

Part of that log is from compiz, you can’t run compiz with gnome-shell for the time being (maybe in the future).

Also are you sure that you are running openGL capable drivers ?

i agree with ketheriel u’ve not to use compiz…
