You might be hitting this (by now famous) bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464866

In short, intel drivers are screwed in F10 (or upstream, I'm not sure), X
freezes on a random basis, and we are all nervously waiting for a fix
since September 2008... :-( And waiting... and waiting... and waiting...

HTH, :-)
