Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Cinnamon is noted to be installable, but by default on Radeon systems 6x 
series
(and newer) 3D rendering is in SOFTWARE mode post install.

Installing 3d drivers from the repos for fglrx sets us up with HARDWARE 3D
rendering but renders cinnamon completely unusable. It crashes on login (and
keeps crashing) leaving no option but to kill the X server from the command
line(and try again with different window manager).I have tried with live 
cd as
well with same responce.
