A combination of Bug 474624 [1] and Bug 465884 [2] seem to make F10 on
Intel graphics based machines pretty unusable. These bugs were harassing
me for quite some months now. I also lost some unsaved work...
I am currently using a 2.6.29 kernel from Koji along with the "pci=msi"
kernel parameter, and this seems to fix the issue for me, though I am
just testing for a few days now.
While typing this, I see that there is a 2.6.29 kernel in
updates-testing. I will give it a try later tonight.
