Description of problem: GnomeShell uses falback mode (both in Live desktop CD session and on installed system) even with Radeon HD 4350 (Rv710), which supports accelerated graphics (even compiz) for long time now... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fresh Fedora 15 installation How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Start Live desktop CD session or system on installed system Actual results: It starts in GnomeShell's fallback mode Expected results: It should start in full GnomeShell environment Additional info: glxinfo | grep "renderer string" gives output: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe Note: It might be a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704795
Is there known any workaround to Get Radeon HD 4350 play with Gnome Shell? Even possibility of updating parts of graphics stack from upstream?
Please attach dmesg & Xorg log
Created attachment 501186 [details] output of dmesg
Created attachment 501187 [details] Xorg.0.log
remove nomodeset from your kernel command line and rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
It hangs all the time when I remove nomodeset and/or delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf: 1) with nomodeset & xorg.conf exists: it boots with text progressbar and gnome shell starts in fallback mode 2) without nomodeset & xorg.conf exists: it boots with graphical progressbar, then switched to console and hangs 3) with nomodeset & xorg.conf have been deleted: it boots with text progressbar and hangs when clear blue screen with strips and birds is displayed 4) without nomodeset & xorg.conf have been deleted: it boots with graphical progressbar and hangs when clear blue screen with strips and birds is displayed In all cases but (1) it hangs before login screen can be displayed.
Similar problem, but with Live CD, I described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707410
(In reply to comment #6) > 4) without nomodeset & xorg.conf have been deleted: > it boots with graphical progressbar and hangs when clear blue screen with > strips > and birds is displayed Could you still get to the console (via Ctrl-Alt-F2) and collect /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg output in this scenario, please? Thank you
Yes, Ctrl-Alt-F2 works. Attaching logs...

Any more info needed? Or some hint what I should try?

Works fine here with my rv710 Please provide motherboard reference + cpu
Created attachment 505160 [details] lshw output Here is output of lshw. Is it sufficient?
Can be workarounded by learning LLVMpipe GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap as wroted on http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTg1NA ? Of course, the real issue is why llvmpipe is used and not r600g...(?)
Please any hints to get Gnome work on Fedora with Radeon4350?
Maybe interesting information: Booting Mint 12 Gnome3 live session gives me full working Gnome Shell environment and even accelerated GL...
Can I somehow help solving this problem?
Could be possible to analyze differences in graphics infrastructure of Mint 12 (which works with Rv710 even accelerated) and Fedora to get this work with Fedora 17?
This bug is fixed in F16. I did not see it, because of I thought F16 liveCD freezes - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754520
