Gnome3 Not working in a VMWare Session

[gforster67]

Good Morning All,

I am new to Linux Fedora 16. I have installed Fedora 16 in a VMWare Player and for some reason GNome3 does not work. Is there an issue with Gnome 3 ina VMWare Player session? My machine is an Intel Core i5-2450, with 4gb ram, and an Intel HD3000 Graphics Card. Can someone please help me with this?

Edit: Here is the glxgears -info
GL_Render = Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe
GL_ Version = 2.1 MESA 7.11.2
GL_Vendor = VMWare Inc.

I have a test F16 virtual machine using KVM/Qemu. I can confirm that Gnome3 in F16 would switch to fallback mode. If you want Gnome-shell in software rendering mode inside a virtual machine then you have to wait until F17 is out. Or you can try to get rawhide running in your VM now. See this article. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTAxMTI. I have tried rawhide in a test VM and Gnome-shell works as expected there.

Where can I get a full .iso of rawhide to see if I can get it to work?
