I was having that problem the last two days on F10 and this was a system
that I had continuously updated from FC5 I think.

I ended up booting into runlevel 1 and moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to
xorg.conf-bak and rebooting and haven't locked up since.

It must have been some setting in xorg.conf that I haven't figured out.
