It's a pity the July shell crash one hasn't been triaged on RedHat
bugzilla, maybe you could submit it as a gnome bug with a pointer to
the Fedora bugzilla number.

It might be painful to do, but you could try using the generic Vesa
driver to see if that still crashes (though maybe that would just get
you fallback mode).
