Comment 25 for bug 1777378

However maybe the make.log won't help. Because you appear to have a working kernel driver.

I can also see this failure, which is important:

Jun 17 21:09:53 little-black-box gnome-shell[1367]: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available drivers found.
Jun 17 21:09:53 little-black-box gnome-shell[1367]: Unable to initialize Clutter.

which would/should be related to:

But that looks like everything is working.
