The intel graphics drivers in Fedora 10 are rather flaky. I saw the same 
problem, (and just got around to reporting it at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473809
). Adding the line
Option "NoAccel" "yes"
to the right section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf might help, though I don't 
currently have access to the machine I saw it on so I can't test it.
