What is your video chip?
It's an Intel i915. And apparently it's one of the ones with the biggest
problems. It seems the older integrated Intel chips are the ones mostly
causing the trouble.
To some extent it depends on how much you are attached to GNUOME3. There
is fallback mode, there are other window managers which are nicer to the
video hardware.
I'm not attached to GNOME3. I'm a KDE guy. That's part of the reason
I've switched back to Fedora from Ubuntu. They are dropping KDE for
their Unity interface (based on GNOME) and I /detest/ GNOME with a
passion.
For what it's worth the built-in video on recent Intel offerings use the
915 driver and my newest i5 even runs GNOME3 in normal mode, should
someone think that's a desirable thing to do. Functionality seems to be
version dependent, however, as most people have found.
I don't believe this bug is WM dependent, since it's a hardware issue
based on what I've read. That said, it's a real PITA and I'm hoping a
live CD of F16 and one of the 3.(>0) kernels will work smoothly.
