    I had a similar problem with my office PC. It uses an i810 video card
    (I'm not sure).

    I fixed it updating to the latest kernel and latest xorg with yum. Try
    this and report back any other issue.

    However there is a problem switching to different virtual terminals with
    Ctrl + Alt + Fn. Every time I switch X crashes. This problem has
    always been present in that specific hardware. I used to have Mandrake
    9 in there and it had the very same problem. FC3 doesn't fix that.
