google searches is a fallback compatibility mode in gnome3 that supports
hardware without 3d. im not seeing that there is a compatibility mode built
in to gnome3 that = gnome2. like stated before, we are being forced to
switch to something even if that switch is to gnome3.. does gnome3
compatibility mode = gnome2?

thanks in advance for confirming this for us.
