Description Dave Jeffery 2012-02-17 09:52:53 UTC

Description of problem:

GNOME 3.2.1 can only start in fall-back mode after kernel update

3.2.5-3.fc16.x86_64 - GNOME 3 works fine with GNOME Shell

3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64 - GNOME 3 goes into fall-back mode

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics × 4 


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start computer with latest kernel update from Software Update
  
Actual results:

GNOME 3.2.1 starts in fallback mode

Expected results:

GNOME shell available

Additional info:

I'm using Catalyst Graphics driver from RPMFusion, as the free driver can't even start GNOME.

Sorry, I didn't know you need to enter

su -
yum install kmod-catalyst 

whenever the kernel is updated.
