Description Dave Jeffery 2012-02-23 07:04:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

To use GNOME Shell with Catalyst drivers (the free driver doesn't even boot Fedora running GNOME) I have to use the Linux 3.2.5 kernel. 


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the computer with 3.2.7 kernel

Actual results:
Gnome 3.2.1 in Fall back mode

Expected results:
Gnome 3.2.1 with Gnome Shell

Sorry, I didn't know you need to enter

su -
yum install kmod-catalyst 

whenever the kernel is updated.
