Question GNOME 3 Starting in Fallback Mode: Driver Problem

Hi!

Fedora 15 is starting in Fallback Mode. The Driver in Use is VESA, even though I have an Intel Motherboard. (I've heard thet VESA does not support 3d hardware acceleration). The Intel drivers are (of course) installed by default, yet the driver in use is VESA and not Intel?

I am running Fedora 15 64-bit.

The output of
Code:
lspci|grep VGA
is:
Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
This is my xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection

I want Fedora 15 to start in the proper GNOME 3 shell instead of Fallback mode. I'm pretty sure my hardware is capable enough to handle the graphics in GNOME 3 shell.

Please help me out. I'm a newbie.
