(Sorry for the long re-naming, but I fell the thread should get its proper name as the issue evolves)

Two issues though: 1. In an older discussion on Gentoo ML, it was suggested that the SysRq procedure was normally designed for emergency situations only, and not for regular usage. Currently my laptop would qualify for SysRq shutdowns/reboots, but I would prefer to avoid using it for months. 2. Restarting X, such as when I log off Xfce and gdm restarts, will fail. This is almost certainly caused by the fglrx driver/setup, to which I switched these days. I also believe that this failure causes the kernel panic on shutdowns/reboots after X failed to restart (although panics can sometimes not happen). On gdm restart, X will complain of "ddm" module already built in. There are no such complaints during regular system boot, and initial start-up of X. Would anyone have ideas on how to get to the bottom of this issue?
