Ah, I think you probably need to install a driver for your ATI card. I 
would recommend using the 'akmod-catalyst' package from the rpmfusion 
repository. Here's their website:

http://rpmfusion.org/

Basically you follow the instructions to enable it on your system, and 
then type

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install akmod-catalyst xorg-x11-drv-catalyst

Reboot, and you should be using Gnome shell (unless you've created or 
modified any files in /etc/X11).
