Well...  this is one of the things we want to get out of the GNOME 3 
test days.  If you aren't getting either a shell or fallback mode, we 
need to know what hardware you're using so we can make sure it's handled 
appropriately.  Filing a bug with a smolt profile would help with that, 
or check out the GNOME 3 test day page and enter your data there.
