[Launchpad Bug Tracker <857933@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I attempt to login to Oneiric with a Gnome desktop, I get the
following dialog popup up.

"Unfortunately GNOME 3 failed to start properly and started in the fallback mode.
This most likely means your system (graphics hardware or driver) is not capable of delivering the full GNOME 3 experience."

I have the proprietary AMD 3D driver installed and activated according
to jockey.

I was able to run Unity 3D desktop but was getting some flicker on my
second monitor so decided to try Gnome 3.

All the latest updates have been applied.
