    I was told that you need a kernel with more stack (16k) you can get from
    here

    http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php

    Mine went for 2 weeks w/o freeze after I installed it, compared to every
    day or few days (variable). Maybe it needs even more stack? Or possibly
    it really didn't help. Others have suggesed downgrading kernel and/or
    xorg. I don't know... I have been seeing this since fc2 test1 on all
    kernels and xorgs.

    Enter your observations in this bugzilla report:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123883

    (See mail list subjects containing "freeze" or "crash" or "lock"
    pertaining to X/Xorg for litany of complaints.)
