Yeah, I've installed the 'gnome-shell' by the full installation command:
pacman -Syu gnome pacman -S gnome-extra
and 'gnome-shell' is surely installed.
The option "Force Fallback Mode" is OFF as the default. But, the problem haven't gone.
The GNOME cannot probe my Graphics, it shows 'Uknown' in 'System info' control-panel.
My CPU is Intel i5-2300, with Intel HD 2000 Graphics within it and that's my graphic processor. I've heard about the newest 'xf86-video-intel' can support the Intel's new Sandy Bridge and also HD 2000/3000 Graphics so I installed it. It seems to work fine with xmonad and Fallback Mode of Gnome. Is that driver still under developing and not able to provide Hardware Acceleration? Or just the Gnome don't support it? Or I have chosen the wrong driver?
How can I check whether the driver supports 3d hardware acceleration (of course out of Gnome)?

Hi,
Sorry for my bad English.
I've just bought a new computer about 1 month ago and I tried to install archlinux as second OS on it yesterday. But when I got everything done and started the Gnome, it took a minute and, started in Fallback Mode with a dialog box telling me maybe I have not got proper driver for the graphic card. It appeared just the first time I start Gnome, nerver I got that dialog box further, still in fallback mode.
My graphic card is Intel HD 2000 integrated in CPU. I'm using xf86-video-intel as the driver. I can't check what's wrong.
Thanks, ---- Mail by Max Xie
Hello,
Have you installed 'gnome-shell' as explained in the wiki [0]? To get back to regular gnome-shell mode, launch gnome-control-center, navigate to "System info", tab "Graphics" and set "Force fallback mode" to OFF. If it still says you cannot use it then you may have issues with your graphic drivers.

That should not be relevant: I have 2 computers here running Gnome OK in regular mode saying Graphic card = "Unknown". I have no Intel graphic card so I am not experienced with them but: have you followed the wiki [0]? Especially parts about KMS. You should have a look at your Xorg.0.log.
