I was told that you need a kernel with more stack (16k) you can get from 
here

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php

Mine went for 2 weeks w/o freeze after I installed it, compared to every 
day or few days (variable). Maybe it needs even more stack? Or possibly 
it really didn't help. Others have suggesed downgrading kernel and/or 
xorg. I don't know... I have been seeing this since fc2 test1 on all 
kernels and xorgs.

Enter your observations in this bugzilla report:

(See mail list subjects containing "freeze" or "crash" or "lock" 
pertaining to X/Xorg for litany of complaints.)
