Hi,
After recent updates to kernel 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686.PAE my Gnome
started behave strangely.
It looks xrandr stopped probing my screen and card properly and it looks
Compiz (Desktop Effects) stopped working properly either.
Compiz seems to be working, but I cannot switch between desktops, like I
would have only one desktop and the "Workspaces on a Cube" does not
work, I mean I can select it by the cube is not there.
I tried Metacity and the only difference is that I can switch between
workspaces.
I believe I had the same issues in F10 & F11, that is why I stopped
using them a while ago. I came back to F12 because all looked great
after initial install. Few updates and it looks to be broken again :(

Why does it show 2 cards? :O

So I need # xrandr -s 0 to recover a little and get:

In Display Preferences I can see now two monitors for any reason.
One is shown as Goldstar Company Ltd 19" (I have a Flatron 19" but it
worked fine before update recognized as Goldstar).
The second one is shown as Unknown - I do not have the second
monitor. :-O
BTW, I tried to create manual xorg.conf with different settings and that
only helped to bring gdm login screen to 1440x900_60.00.

I tried also xrandr newmode option to add 1440x900_75.00, but it did not
worked.

Thank you for any help and suggestions.
Maybe this will help Fedora developers fix what was working for a moment
in F12 ;)
Kindest regards,
