OK different approach.
You can identify if its kernel 3 problem or not by booting up off a live cd.
Download a Fedora FC16 live CD..
Yes I said Fedora, I've found the hard way that Debian is a bit fussy with
graphics card drivers.
My main machine has a ATI card built in which run fine on Fedora on
gnome-shell, gdm3,
Even after much attempts to configure it would only half work.I had to buy a
Nvidia card to run gnome-shell normally.
FC16 live CD will go straight in to gnome-shell , not in fallback mode as
long as your card can manage acceleration..
I strongly suspect it will run. Gnome-shell,gdm3, has the word "activities" in
the top left hand corner.
If/when that runs properly you will know where the problem is, whether is
debian or kernel3/gnome3.
