sort of anyway...
Problems began with update to F12 and using motherboard nVidia hardware
(old)
had to remove/move xorg.conf
restarted but I could not get beyond 1024x768 with nouveau and only with
'nomodesetting' kernel parameter because without, I could not get beyond
800x600
So I went back to xorg.conf, (still with 'nomodesetting') and I could
get 1280x1024 but the keyboard was wacky as described below.
I finally fixed this by changing 'kbd' Driver to 'evdev' in xorg.conf
