Can you try with a newer kernel kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10 has some fixes.
can't test with kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10 since kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10 has n't yet been pushed according to yum .
All built kernels are here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 and the latest is http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=67381 (i.e., kernel-2.6.27.3-44.fc10)

the freeze problem has been solved but another bug occurs when using the modesettings within a few minute of working the screen become black just like if the system went into hibernation mode
damn modesetting. I've just upgrated to rawhide, and my system was REALLY REALLY REALLY SLOW. My video card is a radeon X1050 R300 based, so fully working with DRI project Radeon driver. everything was choppy and fedora crashed several times (also changing the wallpaper resulted to a crash) to a striped black and white screen of death... Now I edited grub, adding nomodesetting, and fedora works better... I don't know if it's an issue with R300 or just modesetting is too much immature...but this bug is annoying :(
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I still sometimes experience the hard freeze with VT switch or at the end of the KDE splash. Similar card: Radeon 9500 AGP. Name : kernel Arch : i686 Versione : 2.6.27.7 Release : 134.fc10 Name : xorg-x11-drv-ati Arch : i386 Versione : 6.9.0 Release : 61.fc10 N.B.: the freeze doesn't always happen. You get it ~70% of the times (maybe with the VT switch it's even a bit more frequent). All goes well with "nomodeset".
No progress with kernel-2.6.27.9-163.fc10 and xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-62.fc10
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
