I've been running Fedora 9 thru 14 in my lab over the years, but these issues have me stumped. Gnome3 works fine on some of my systems, but unfortunately my classrooms machines with Nvidia Geoforce FX 5200 cards it only works about 80%. I've tired using gnome-tweak-tool, gconf-editor, and dconf-editor, but have failed to find a solution that completely works. gnome-tweak-tool comes the closest with using the Font option and then changing the Text scaling factor to something else and then back to 1.0. This will fix the text on the top panel/bar and the gnome3 application list will show the text correctly in the far right panel, but it does not stay set after a logout and requires manually doing it after the next sign in. Tried using strace to send the output to a file, but in just making that one change it produced ofter 200,000 lines of output. Lots of gettimeofday lines and others that I was able to filter out, but still left me with 10,000 lines that did seem to have anything obvious that might be a way to automate this process. The gconf-editor and dconf-editor had lots of options, but none seemed to be what I was looking for. There was a scaling factor, but it didn't make the process work. Setting the Forced Fallback mode does get it working with the old menu style, but loses the gnome3, which seems to work mostly? But this still leaves the sign on screen with issues. Then Sign in screen has the top panel/bar with what looks like light and dark brown lines going across the screen. The date/time is all bunched up in the center and most characters are unreadable. The 3 icons on the right are also messed up, but mousing over them gets them to display properly while over them. Click on the date/time displays the calander, but only parts of it displays correctly. What should be Saturday December 31, 2011 shows up with urd y December , 20 . With the missing charcters as blurred versions. The calendar below shows all the text and numbers fine. In the Sign in Panel itself the Fedora Icon shows up again as a number of brown lines at the moment, but it sometimes has different colores, and sometines blocks of various colors rather and the image. One time it did show the image correctly, and the names were showing up in the older style, but then a restart went back to the gnome3 style. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
