Has anyone tried speak about this with upstream?

Did not check Eugene's patch, but my idea is simple. Just add extra command line option to allow disable acceleration check. If it is set, than check should not be made. For example --disable-acceleration-check. Than sessions who need it could add that in .desktop file: gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback --disable-acceleration-check
