Mauricio, good luck with Fedora, however I'm afraid you could
encounter similar problems. It seems that there are serious issues
with newer kernels or/and XOrg (perhaps a combination of them). So as
long you'd stick with fairly old kernel you should be safe (i.e.
2.6.31) anything newer tends to be unstable (some report that 2.6.35
is ok, some that the issue is just less frequent).

You might also try to add kernel options which are reported to help in
some cases, try in turn:
- noacpi noapm
- nohz=off
- acpi_skip_timer_override

For me the latter two work fine.
