It would be really useful if you said which version of Fedora you are using!

Anyway if it is F11 there are known issues with X and going into standby and
there is an update that may help you. 
If you want to try the update in F11 then as root do:
yum --enablerepo updates-testing update xorg-x11-server-Xorg

This fixed similar issues that I had using F11 in one machine.
