The only video driver that appears to work is vesa, (should use either
nv or nouveau for nvidia graphics), and therefore not at required
resolution, or openGL applications.
Do you have the proprietary Nvidia driver installed? If you do, remove
it.
I've upgraded 4 computers from F-11 to F-12 using "yum update" in a
screen or a virtual console. Two of them are Nvidia based. I remember
having some problems with the proprietary nvidia driver, but I think
that was just because there isn't a F12 version in RPMFusion, yet.
Removing the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia package fixed the problem.

I managed to upgrade my PC from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 using yumex
successfully, hence my disappointment!
*DON'T* upgrade with a GUI, since X often hangs during distribution
upgrades. See
