Anybody have a solution for the bug (?) that keeps Gnome 3 from working
with Nvidia 7300 video cards? Specifically, the keyboard and mouse
clicks don't work (but ctrl-alt-backspace does).
It's been a while, I thought this would surely get fixed. I'm running
F15 with the latest updates and the latest Nvidia driver.
Thanks,
John

Have you confirmed this is gnome only not a driver or X problem ?
(e.g. do things work with KDE or xfce?)

I currently running KDE on the box, works fine (but it's boring).

I do not have any issues. My laptop is Dell Precision M4500. I am using
the latest kernel (2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64) and nvidia driver (280.13)
however I am not using the hibernation.

I too am interested in this. I have a Dell Dimension E520 with Nvidia
GeForce 7300 LE. I have put off upgrading to F15 on this machine (I have
F15 running on a headless server which has no need of Gnomery) because I
read these threads:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/401484.html
I have not yet seen anything that says it should now be working...
I hope that someone can enlighten me.

Ok good - does KDE still work ok if you turn on desktop effects - that
may tickle the 3D stuff more ... gnome 3 tickles it even more than that
as I understand - but if 3d effects on KDE is a problem then we know for
sure its not gnome per se ...

You mentioned that you have a GeForce 7300 card.
All GeForce 7300 (GT,GS,LE,SE and PCIe or AGP) cards have "3D hardware
acceleration". They should be recognized as such when booting F15.
What does 'lspci -d 10de:' say.
You are running the Nvidia driver. This requires a 'nomodeset' entry
in the kernel line of /boot/grub/grub.conf (if I remember correctly).
To switch to the nouveau driver you have to disable the nvidia driver.
Have you checked if the 'nomodeset' entry has been removed.
Also have a look at
system settings->system info->graphics->forced fallback mode->on/off

Good catch. Turning on desktop effects kills KDE (hard lockup). This
is with the Nvidia driver. Maybe I've got some bad hardware.

I have not tried installing the (latest) Nvidia driver again.
I suspect it will still give problems with at least the NV46 family
of Nvidia chips (including the GeForce 7300 (LE)) as Nvidia has
as far as I know not adressed this problem.
However I can confirm that the Nouveau driver is now functioning
adequately with the Geforce 7300 LE. I have been using it for the
past 2 weeks:
(xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-24.20110324git8378443.fc15.x86_64
mesa-xxx-7.11-0.16.20110709.0.fc15.x86_64 and
kernel-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64)
So if are willing to give up the Nvidia drivers you can comfortably
run F15+Gnome3 with Nouveau.

Thanks for the reply. When I run the Nouveau driver, I get the Gnome
"fallback" version. And I see a console message that says that there is
no 3D hardware acceleration. I've got the same software versions.
