1) I was not aware of "classic mode", it was clearly not obvious anymore.
2) F15 should have started in "classic mode" with a pointer on how to
    upgrade to a more modern method if it detected the fedora install was
    an "upgrade".
3) you still did not describe how to enable "fallback mode"

By now, I have returned to F14, with plans to skip F15 alltogether and
hoping F16 will not make the same mistake of turning my desktop power
setup in a single-task tablet environment based on some bad copycat
behaviour that even MacOSX pretty much abanonded as a mistake.

I look forward to see that support in F15/F16
