Hi, I did investigate a bit further the problem.
When starting X on the laptop, the LCD display blank and stay in this state. The network access allowed me to see what was happening. The Xorg server is using 80-90% of the CPU power: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4298 root 25 0 29152 4896 3108 R 98.8 1.4 0:23.53 Xorg The Xorg process is un-killable even with SIGKILL signal (9). So, I obviously conclude that Xorg is waiting for something in the kernel. I tried to downgrade from kernel 2.6.15 back to 2.6.14.5 (which was previously working with the old Xorg) but it still behave the same. When the system is asked to shutdown, the Xorg process seems to be the last one to be killed (confirmation of the un-killable process). I can't attach gdb to the Xorg process as it does not reply. I have to try to strace it on my next attempt. xserver-xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 the X.Org X server Does somebody have the same behaviour or is just me ?
