Awesome. This brings up X and gnome-shell with nomodeset on all three computers: MBP4,1 UGA (2008); MBP8,2 GOP (2011); MBP10,2 GOP (2012). I tested this with F19 desktop ISO (livemedia) with an overlay using livecd-iso-to-disk and yum installing the individual rpms.

Let me know if you need more data.
