If it locks or doesn't run at that point, you're probably running into this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18160 (I noticed your log finishes with "initializing int10", which is what mine finished with when I ran into this bug). The cause is that, at a certain point, Xorg got rid of its inbuilt PCI handling code, and has been relying on the kernel PCI code. Unfortunately, there's been a bug in the Xorg code, and a bug in the kernel as well. Either Alex Villacis-Lasso (excuse lack of diacritics) will fix it, or my book on PCI architecture will arrive, and I'll give it a go myself (but it may be beyond me). The workaround is to downgrade to an older version of Xorg. I forget what version worked, but IIRC, it worked in Fedora 8, but not Fedora 9 (I went straight from Fedora 6 to Fedora 10 myself, so I'm unsure).
