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.

*DON'T* upgrade with a GUI, since X often hangs during distribution
upgrades. See
