Everyone,

Just when I was getting accustomed to gnome3, and liking it, my system
switched to fallback mode automatically.  I thought the problem was
something I had done, and when I tried to fix it I only made things much
worse and eventually even broke yum.  I decided to start over with a new
install, but I have not been able to fix the problem.  Of course it is
easy to blame a kernel update, but I have not seen any other posts that
specifically address this.  
This machine is an HP laptop (AMD A4-3300M APU with Radeon(tm) HD
Graphics × 2) with ATI Technologies Inc Device 9648 (prog-if 00 [VGA
controller].

At the time of the fresh install gnome3 would not work, and
automatically dropped back to fail safe mode.  

In the manner that I did on the original install I did the following :

#1. Install of akmod-catalyst xorg-x11-drv-catalyst from rpmfusion
#2. Removal of nomodeset from grub2.cfg

gnome-shell has been installed :
Package gnome-shell-3.2.2.1-1.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest
version

I am still unable to boot to gnome3 without going to failsafe mode; your
help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Greg Ennis
