This sounds to me what I've been experiencing.

If I use X for about 2 hours, it leaves whatever image that was there
when X departed.

This problem is still there for later test versions. I tried smp and
non-smp kernels and it still crashed in about 2 hours.

I tested the computer out for longer durations. Logging into terminals
and doing commands to reboot and to save log files. If your failure
seems to be similar. It would be great if you can help resolve this
problem with your additions. It is for FC3T1, but I suspect these are
the latest X packages.

When I close down X when not in use. Then startx the X wen work is to be
done that is GUI related. I got a full work days worth of uptime. I'm
sure that it would have run longer than that. This was with an SMP kernel.

I suggest runlevel 3 and dropping the GUI until it is needed.

If this is not similar to your 2 hour crashes, I guess there are more
variety bugs out there.

This is on a dell computer w/ multithreading. I don't know if this would
be of any significance.
