Description of problem: Every time I boot up and log in, I am greeted with fallback mode. If I Alt-F2 and type "gnome-shell --replace" gnome shell starts up and works fine. My video card is a Radeon HD 2400 Pro. I am using the standard open source driver, which supposedly supports the card fine. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up 2. Log in Actual results: Gnome fallback is started. Expected results: The desktop environment should be Gnome shell 3.2. Additional info: -This is my grub2 entry: linux /vmlinuz-3.1.2-1.fc16.i686 root=/dev/mapper/vg_lin1084-lv_root ro rd.lvm.lv=vg_lin1084/lv_root rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.lvm.lv=vg_lin1084/lv_swap LANG=en_US.UTF-8 radeon.modeset=1 -The setting to force fallback mode in system settings is off. -One peculiar thing that might be worth noting is the result of "dmesg | grep drm". The last line reads: [ 24.013675] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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
