I can add a "me too" for this problem. F9 was rock solid stable. A clean install of F10beta will lock up randomly. Sometimes within minutes of logging in. Using Firefox seems to make the lockups occur more frequent.
You might try booting with nomodeset. I have a r530 based card and while things are getting better I can still coerce an X lockup or kernel crash (it's hard to tell which is happening from the console sometimes). Things are stable there (but at home with an r280 card nomodeset breaks things) when I use nomodeset. I have a ticket open for my lockups that I have been updating as I reproduce the problem with later versions of things that are X related (kernel, xorg ati driver, xorg server, mesa).
