Just tested this problem out on rawhide with the latest everything. It 
appears that switching to a virtual terminal, then back to the GUI locks 
up the computer, puts the fan into high speed mode, emits a smell of 
overheated silicon.

Best to boot from runlevel 3  and use startx & to launch X, do not 
switch to a terminal console, then back to the GUI. Stay away from 
tuxracer also. (As a test program).

kernel-2.6.10-1.1142_FC4
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1

I haven't tried the previous noaccel or other suggestions yet, but it is 
still broken.
