Description of problem:
Reported in Test Day, using the livecd image (so I don't have all files handy).
Trying the basic test (boot into a Gnome session) gives a fallback session (legacy Gnome). Trying ctrl-alt-backspace goes into Gnome shell, which works fine AFAICS.

$ lspci -nn | grep nVidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] [10de:0a75] (rev a2)

Smolt profile is attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[The one in gfx_test_week_20110221_x86-64.iso]

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into Gnome ~~-> Fallback
2. ctrl-alt-BS ~~-> Shell
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
Go directly to Gnome shell

Comment 1 Horst H. von Brand 2011-02-22 17:46:26 UTC 
Note that the smolt profile is from under rawhide, not the tested system (livecd x86_64).
Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2011-02-22 22:18:08 UTC 
I don't believe nouveau can be responsible for this.

Adam, any better ideas?
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2011-02-23 00:14:49 UTC 
yep! we have a few reports of this, actually.
