Description of problem: Booting a LiveCD on an older Macbook Pro with an Radeon Mobility X1600 gpu, I got the fallback gnome-panel instead of gnome-shell, even though this chip supports the necessary features and has had good 3D and compositor support with the radeon driver in previous releases. Running 'gnome-shell --replace' from a terminal window results in 'Shell killed with signal 11' and no window manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I'm using gfx_test_week_20110221_i368.iso How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot live CD with default options 2. Click 'login' 3. Observe desktop Actual results: I get a background wallpaper and a Gnome 2 panel (mis-themed) with typical menu, applets, pager, etc. Expected results: Shiny Gnome 3 desktop. Additional info: Card is ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600] [1002:71c5] After login, gnome-panel is running, gnome-shell and nautilus are not.

can you retry with a later CD, it should be working fine, I think the detection sw was broken.
I tried with 'Fedora-15-Alpha-i686-Live-Desktop.iso' sha1 9d8bbb62fc9fc3e497cd00fe3134521ef0ef4f7c and got fallback again. There's a note in .xsession-errors: gnome-session[1454]: WARNING: Had to kill '/usr/libexec/gnome-session-is-accelerated' helper Running /usr/libexec/gnome-session-is-accelerated manually from the terminal after start-up promptly returns '0' (true). Was there a newer image I should try?
Can you try one from feb 25 http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/15-Alpha/Live/i686/ It works here on X1950, thought maybe the fact that this is a mac and with no atombios or buggy one might come into play here
The Alpha Live CD from February 25 (Feb 26 at the link you give) is the one I used in Comment 7. $ sha256sum *.iso 7e53e4b9ad58f996a8c0e8ab890b58def77070b5ddafd63648dfd6190644d4e1 Fedora-15-Alpha-i686-Live-Desktop.iso which matches http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/15-Alpha/Live/i686/Fedora-15-Alpha-i686-Live-CHECKSUM
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
