Gnome 3 worked perfectly on the Demo but...

steelfan555 · #1 2nd May 2011, 02:04 AM

The demo iso from gnome3.com worked perfectly.
However, it cant be installed so i grabbed the F15 beta. Now, after updates, Gnome 3 will not start at all. Graphics rendering is on according to system info and gxinfo (or whatever the exact command is)

Any ideas? I want to use Gnome 3 somehow.

does it fallback to the fallback Mode? but doesnt load Gnome3 at all? did you change anything . if you go into system info > Graphics is it On of Off?

Yes, its in fallback.
I didnt change anything, it didnt work before the system updates so i did them all and it still wont work.

just an update, i dont see any ATI drivers in RPMFusiion at all, not for F15 anyway. even the Nvidia drivers arent up to date either.

steelfan555 · #9 2nd May 2011, 02:55 AM

I guess thats why i didnt see them.

what you could do is have a look over at http://atrpms.net/to see if they have them in there repo, however if you install there repo, i wouldn't suggest you keep it permantely enabled

even they dont have them there

I see.
Well, I shall wait for the RC to come out and return then.
In the mean time, I can try openSuse (they released an RC)

yeah goodluck with that, though you may have the same issue with drivers but when you installed F15 Beta did you try to install it the normal way an not using the Vesa driver? as you have 2 options to install.

I actually tried both. When the one didnt work I went back and tried the other.

what Arch of Fedora15 did you download? 64bit or 32bit?

steelfan555 · #15 2nd May 2011, 03:11 AM

32 bit. This old relic is 32 only.
