To all:
Installed f12 without any problems.
Discovered that crtl-alt-backspace was disabled in f12 and how I
could edit my xorg.conf to restore that feature.
How did you discover this? Trying it in a gnome desktop? :)
Searched Fedora f12 web pages and they told me to install
system-config-display to create an xorg.conf that matched the default
that the opSys was using. Worked great and, to use the cliché,
"groovy"
Don't do that. See:

(with screenshots even! :)
There is no need at all to make an xorg.conf, and as you have seen it
can cause problems moving forward.
And I cannot get my notebook to even go over 800x600 for the internal
display without using system-config-display to create a xorg.conf to get
higher resolution with FC12. How do I convince X to give me more
without the xorg.conf?
BTW, this is on an HP nc2400 that has a 12" display, but I have always
run it at 1024x768.
