X just totally froze up on my desktop. No keyboard, no mouse. Nothing. I did notice that the system clock at the top was still ticking seconds away. Boy am I glad I changed _that_ setting. :) Otherwise I would have thought the system was totally frozen. I was able to use my laptop (also running F10) to ssh to the afflicted desktop machine and reboot it from there. I don't think this particular problem is a driver issue with ATI. My desktop is currently running the RPMFusion nVidia drivers on a GeForce 7100 chip set. This more likely has to be X or some other related component. Since you already created it, let us know the Bugzilla number and I'll add my info to it.
