If you can't get into Gnome3 from the LiveCD, it's probably not a kernel
update causing it as the image isn't kept updated. If you can, there's
a software issue. In either case, you'll have a much better idea of
where to look than you do now.
Joe,
I'll start the download!!, but the original system would not work
without akmod-catalyst from rpmfusion. I've never downloaded a liveCD
so it will be good to do no matter what.

The CD I created with Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso did not work.
It booted to the boot screen, then after the process started the screen
turned gray for a short while, and then black. The CD kept being
accessed for a time and finally stopped being accessed. The black
screen did not change.
Did you try starting in compatible mode? If that doesn't work you do
have an issue, but if the Live-CD works I assume that an "upgrade" broke
the working system (not exactly an unheard of thing).
I did not think this would work without akmod.catalyst, but it might be
a fair way for others to test their system to see if gnome3 is going to
work without additional drivers.
I never load alternate drivers unless the ones in the distro fail to
work. The state of video since GNOME3 is so fragile that I take what I
can get working. The whole concept of requiring acceleration when the
free drivers don't work is "mystery think" to me.
Does anyone know if F17 is going to address this problem ????
