After today's updates, I find that if I don't press a key or

mouse for 2-5 seconds then the display freezes until I generate some
input.
Its rather like a ^S for X. Its not that the display doesn't get
updated, the processes generating output get held up, then continue as
soon as I generate input.
This happens immediately on login, so the login never completes unless
I waggle the mouse.
Curiously, a screensaver that I tried doesn't suffer from the same problem.
This is on a Dell Inspiron 1410 laptop which has the following display adapter:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.4.2-8.fc10.i386
I saw something similar on a Vaio with roughly equivalent hardware.
Wondered whether it was kernel related as booting to the -314 kernel
seemed to fix it.
