They'll still see Gnome Shell. They added LLVM support for software-rendering about a year ago: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAxMjI http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAxM... Fallback Mode was only still in use by people who preferred Gnome 2 and forced it on, everybody else with Gnome 3 saw Gnome Shell. Per the link, even back then they discussed dropping Fallback Mode after full LLVM had been added: > "As said by Red Hat's Adam Williamson on the Fedora mailing list, 'That's really a policy decision for the GNOME / Fedora desktop teams, not for ajax. But based on what they've said in the past, I expect that once most hardware that previously needed the fallback mode is covered, fallback mode will die. AIUI, fallback mode isn't meant to be a GNOME 2-by-stealth for Shell refuseniks, it's purely an attempt to accommodate hardware which doesn't support Shell.'"
