I'm trying to get Gnome 3 running (with the activity menu and window scaling), but it keeps going to the failback session for some reason. I wouldn't normally give up this early in the game but I'm not getting much in the way of error messages or google searches. The only error message that I have is in the .xsession-errors file:
There's nothing helpful in the Xorg error logs or the ring buffer or the syslog.
? I'm using the nouveau drivers on an nVidia Corporation G84 [Quadro FX 570] card. I've also posted my glxinfo output below. Thanks!
