Did u try KDE? Just to be sure, you're sure it's the Kernel that's
having the issue not the DE?

Junayeed,

Yes, I have used KDE, as well as XFCE without a problem.  This appears
to be a gnome3 issue.  Interesting thing is that when I first put F16 on
the system gnome3 did not work, but after they made some kernel updates
and with akmod-catalyst gnome3 worked for a long time.  About a month
ago gnome3 stopped working again.  I thought I had dome something to it
myself so I did a new install of F16, and have never had gnome3 working
on the new install.  I have been able to get gnome3 to work with the
F17-LiveCD on this machine so there has been some good changes there.  I
plan to limp along with what I have, and do a fresh install of 17 when
it comes out.  

Greg
