Upgrade? What type of upgrade did you perform, a full install or a true
upgrade from a previous version? Were your settings saved in a separate
partition?

If no one else seems to be having this problem then the problem is probably
not with Fedora but with the settings not being correct.

A couple of recent messages had very useful information to help solve this

Using drivers from previous versions often causes problems. Many things get
changed between version which is why I recommend a fresh install (saving all
the /home directories as separate, unformatted partitions).
