for what it's worth.. and it might not be much!
i have a toshiba satellite, running f9, and had an issue where the system
would freeze/lockup, that i managed to resolve with new/different xorg
drivers.
basically, i changed from radeon, to radeonhd in the xrog.conf, and
downloaded the appropriate driver. might help your issue.. but without
knowing more about your symptoms/setup, can't say for sure.

Subject: Re: Fedora Hangs on Laptop
2008/11/7 Dave Cross <davorg(a)gmail.com>:
I'm running Fedora 9 on a Dell XPS M1330 laptop. I'm using
one of the
earliest F9 kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.PAE) because I've been unable
to get a wireless connection with any later kernel that I've tried.
But I'm having huge problems with this kernel too. At random times the
machine just freezes completely. The capslock and num-lock buttons
flash on and off but the only way out of it seems to be to turn the
system off and restart. Sometimes it can be an hour or so before the
problems occurs, but more often it's a few minutes. This obviously
makes the system pretty much unusable. I can use the system for as
long as Iike when I boot it into Vista.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Or do you have any suggestions on
how I can help to investigate the problem?
Last night I tried the Fedora 10 preview on this machine and I'm
pleased to report that not only did the wireless problems go away, but
I was able to use the system for three hours without it hanging.
Fedora 10 looks like a lovely release. I'm really looking forward to
the official version. Many thanks to everyone who was involved.
Dave...
