F12 fixes all the problems on a ACER notebook that I have including keyboard that I had problems on F10 (US International with ABNT2 layout). But on a notebook with SiS chipsets (671/771) I still using F11 because the xorg version on F12 has break some graphic drivers that depends on the old xorg architecture (maybe the major problems are with shared vga static variables defined on xf86resources.h that was removed). I got the SiS driver from Debian and build for F11 and need to compile the latest stable kernel to put ACPI (hibernate and suspend capabilities) correctly. I still using F11 on a machine with NVidia graphic cards but I will try to upgrade. F11 fixes many problems found on F8 on that machine including the video resolution. On machines with Intel graphic cards F12 is great. Gnome 2.28 is great. Many Nautilus bugs are fixed on display of directories in tree mode. I think that Gnome cut some old great resources to reorganize them and put each one again in a consistent and simpler mode in the correct time. F12 has some problems on v4l that F11 does not have. On F12 sometimes is necessary to download manually and build the latest v4l-dvb for some webcams to work correctly, I think the problem is on libv4l. I think that F12 can be better if upgrade the kernel to the latest release to use the new ACPI functionalities, running on a greater number of portable computers and having a functional hibernate and suspend capabilities, and without the need to disable ACPI on installer (that on F12 is better but the 2.6.32 or later kernels is great). Some variables was changed with this new kernel, but this was already ignored with xorg package. Read the release notes to check if your architecture was marked as obsolete on F12 or not.
