There you have it. I think software rendering is (at least by now) not
supported by gnome-shell so it drops you into the fallback mode. But I'm
unsure is by disabling KMS you also lose 3D capabilities :-?

KMS with a radeon driver/ATI card is a must nowadays. Any problem you
experience with this combo is better to be reported so it gets corrected
