I guess if nothing else work I could try upgrading (I was a bit reluctant to 
since this is my primary work machine, and everything else work as I want it 
except this graphic issue, which has gotten more severe somehow).

BTW, I did more searches with the error messages I found in /var/log/messages, 
and there seems to be some open bugs related to nouveau driver and X freezes. 
So I don't know how much better F15 would be, maybe I should just wait a 
little while for F16 and upgrade then. But if anyone have better experience 
with F15 nouveua, I'd like to hear it.

Thanks.
