You had me there for a minute, tox. Your title made me think Fedora decided to skip the beta phase for F17. :D

Gnome-shell does not work in an old graphics card, I get only fallback in Fedora 17 beta rc

I believe all nvidia cards with 64Mb or less are blacklisted in gnome-shell.

Aha!

Installs on VirtualBox flawlessly, GNOME shell works. The system is more responsive than alpha image that I was using earlier.

Mouse roller does not seem to work. I am having to click and drag the scroll bar to scroll pages. Is anyone else having this problem? (No, I have not searched for it yet)

My card is ATI, and I installed a livecd.

works here with beta rc1

you need to use:

livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-17-Beta-x86_64-netinst.iso /dev/sdX

Now is this the next thing up from the alpha stage? Is there anything that needs to be done to go from alpha to this beta RCq1?

Just wondering because I'm running the alpha right now and can not get DVD movies to play. and am wondering if I start over if it will fix the problem.

Perhaps somene should count how many times someone asks "Is there anything that needs to be done to go from alpha to this beta..." kind of a question. I'm sure it's some kind of a record. :doh: :D

For the 10.000th time, no, you don't need to do anything special. Updates trough yum will get you all the way to Fedora 17 Final.

:dance:

OK, OK, but will that fix all the problems along the way also?

Thx, that works.

Does anyone know if btrfs is completly kick out from fc17 installation medium?
Does it come back with the official beta or main release?

I like how gnome shell worked on f17 before any alpha releases, and as it becomes closer to being finished it became unusable and stayed that way. Yes, I have an older graphics card, but when I was running llvmpipe on gallium 0.4 it ran flawlessly. now I'm stuck on mesa DRI drivers and since fedora doesn't care about how crappy the classic gnome looks I'm forced to a ****** interface that looks absolutely horrible. I like how my friend came over the other day and asked if I was running windows 98. I hear things that it may be my graphics card but that's a joke. As when it did load the proper drivers everything worked. even ubuntu 12.04 gave me gnome shell with the full experience and they aren't even planning on making gnome shell capable of running on older graphics cards. The only thing I can do is wait to see if this is fixed by inital release, which blows.
