There are some issues with Intel graphics and Fedora 10 currently.  
First I would fully update your system with
# yum update

remove your xorg.conf
# rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and then restart your system to ensure your running the latest kernel.
# reboot

If your still not booting into X after that, I'd try the vesa driver  
with the following steps:

Enter runlevel 3
# init 3

Generate an xorg.conf file
# system-config-display --noui --reconfig

Replace the 'intel' driver with the 'vesa' driver
# sed -i 's/intel/vesa/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Enter runlevel 5
# init 5

Hope that helps,
