Logs complain about missing /usr/lib/dri/unichrome_dri.so which was previously included in the mesa-dri-drivers-7.7 rpm used by Mythdora-12, but Fedora 15 comes with mesa-dri-drivers-7.11.2 rpm which no longer includes this file.

Gnome 3 is likely not a very good choice without a DRI driver. You'd
