Yes, but...


I was only intending to go forward, and not worry about backing up and
restoring /home. I appreciate that upgrades from f13 may alter config
files in such a way that f12 apps no longer understand them. In fact I
only booted to f12 to confirm that it was an f13 problem (and not a
problem with the laptop). And it still works under f12, but not under
f13.

i'd love to. unfortunately i have an nvidia card which doesn't work
properly in f13 (neither with nouveau or proprietary drivers). and now
power management has also failed for me. I really don't want to have
to go back to f12, but right now I still need that option.
