After the latest batch of upgrades my Gnome3 also only goes into fallback mode. I have an nvidia driver and that’s working fine so it isn’t a graphics problem.
Hi
I’m running this system with a GeForce 8600 GTS and driver 270.41.06, it’s working fine at the moment, maybe some old stuff lurking? Is gnome-shell running at 100%?

Hi, I had the same problem on kde4. By installing a gnome 3 for checking purposes I got what you describe.
reason: possibly one more little bug in the system updates, because it happened just by rebooting after “suse-updating”.
issue: the nvidia drivers are modprobed but deactivated.
solution: just reinstall the nvidia drivers, I used the last beta and it seems to work well, vmachines included. Also, I let the installer to write a new xorg.conf, sure is sure.
Don’t forget to run finally mkinitrd.
bye
just downloaded the iso and it worked !!!
then got it installed using yast2 live-installer
my impression about gnome3 :well it’s good for web browsing but i really don’t know how i gonna do any work on it , i really miss the task bar and minimize button it’s gonna take a while to get familiar with it.
