Gnome loads in fallback mode

[FauladKAAaulad]

Hello,

I have installed Fedora 16 in my thinkpad e420 1141 2Rq(core i5-2410). Upon istallation while booting for the first it showed me the message that "there is issue with graphics card or graphics driver and it cannot load GNOME 3 hence it is loading in fallback mode". And as i checked the DISPLAY in SYSTEM SETTINGS it shows 'UNKNOWN'.

Furthur I tried to get some info about the graphics controller using 'lspci -v' and it shows
-Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller.

So i tried to find (and update) using available device driver but i couldnt since i m new in linux. Can you please provide any help. Thanks in advance.

When you do lspci -v, does it show the driver used correctly? As far as I know, kernel module i915 should be the driver for integrated graphics card.

This is what I see.

This is what my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file looks like

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

It seems like it is using vesa driver instead of i915, can you please help on how to make use of i915 driver instead?
