Same thing happened here.

Are you using f13-beta with compiz? There is a bug in xorg that locks
up the display and keyboard when using compiz. The fix is here:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.testers/80940

or in short grab the relevent xorg files and do a "yum --localinstall"
of them.

yum --localinstall? yum has no such option there, used rpm -Uvh *.rpm
after wgetting the files.

A little hint: use yum localinstall (without --), and optional with
--nogpgcheck for unsigned packages. It resolves dependecies
automatically.

In that event, the friggin help screen is worthless. Sigh.

Thanks Mario.
