Description of problem:Fedora 15 fails to use acceleration, so the system remains using the vesa basic video driver Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1:0.0.16-24.20110324git8378443.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: By installing each and every Fedora 15 alpha RC so far. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use either live CD or DVD 2.Anaconda only allows basic video installation 3.After installation, the system does not allow acceleration, hence no gnome-shell Actual results:if Plymouth is allowed to run, login screen becomes useless with horizontal black-and-white stripes. Using the "nomodeset" kernel parameter, the desktop is reachable in fall-back mode with a lower quality resolution. Expected results:Full acceleration allowing use of gnome-shell Additional info:I have been running this same card with nouveau since at least Fedora 13

Hi, I tried to upload all related files. Dmesg command is a little beyond my knowledge but if you tell me how I will gladly provide the output. I tried installing the nvidia drivers without success and remain stuck in basic video.

Just run (as normal user) this command in the terminal emulator dmesg >dmesg.out and attach the file dmesg.out which is created.
Created attachment 492965 [details] dmesg.out Ok, here is dmesg.out.
What happens when you remove nomodeset from the kernel command line (or in /etc/grubc.conf)? Could you please provide as /var/log/Xorg.0.log and output of dmesg even in case it fails horribly (you may switch to the console via Ctrl-Alt-F2 or get to the computer via ssh from another computer if possible), please? Thank you

Once it gets to the login screen all you see are horizontal bars and the system freezes. I will try Ctrl-Alt-F2 tomorrow and report back.

I need to correct that Plymouth does not work anymore after removing nomodeset. Ctrl-Alt-F2 does not work. I was able to access the machine via ssh and got this dmesg output, but Xorg.0.log was empty.
Important: this kernel from koji seems to resolve my issue, although gnome-shell shows a lag or delay: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=238906. So this seems to be a kernel issue, at least in part. Apart from the delay in gnome-shell itself, all works including Plymouth (after deleting nomodeset from grub.conf).
Closing as the current f15 kernel is newer than the one mentioned as fixing the issue.
