Description Jaroslav Škarvada 2012-04-12 10:12:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
Gnome shell is unusable on Dell Latitude D620, it needs gnome-fallback

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.4.0-1.fc17.i686
kernel-PAE-3.3.1-5.fc17.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-35.20120306gitf5d1cd2.fc17.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Gnome shell
  
Actual results:
Unusable desktop, artifacts, missing text, etc.

Expected results:
Usable desktop

Additional info:
Also reported to Fedora 17 Gnome-shell Software Rendering Test Day Wiki page. CPU: Core Duo (T2500)), GPU: nVidia G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForge Go 7300] (NV40). It works OK in fallback mode, i.e. I used:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'gnome-fallback'

Thus it probably needs blacklisting. I am unsure where to report, so in case I was wrong, please reassign to correct component.
