Created attachment 452022 [details] Xorg log Description of problem: Often after using Fedora 13 x86-64 on my Dell Studio 17 notebook (Intel Core 2 Duo T6500, 4 GB RAM, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD) for about 30 minutes, the system will start pausing periodically for a minute or more. I noticed that something seems to be wrong with the Xorg driver because the Xorg.0.log starts getting filled with entries repeated over and over again. (Log will be attached.) System becomes nearly unusable because of the pauses, and it often slows down considerably even after the pause subsides. I've noticed this most often after using Eclipse, but it occurs in even when using any application for more than a few minutes. The pausing doesn't go away after closing applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use system normally for 30 minutes; most often noticed after starting Eclipse. 2. 3. Actual results: System will pause periodically for up to a minute or more. System monitor in GNOME panel will actually stop moving during pause, though CPU scaling monitor will continue to fluctuate. Expected results: The system to run smoothly. Additional info:

It looks like Xorg goes mad and starts reinitializing itself again and again and again (Xorg.0.log has 18.38 MB). No idea, what does it mean, passing to developers (but please do answer the question in comment 2). Thank you helping to make Fedora awesome
