>From comments to bug 217004: >From Tormod Volden: Peter, I updated the Hardy xserver-xorg-video-savage package on https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa to the latest version, so you can try it (I haven't tested it myself).
>From me to Tormod Volden: Tormod - installing your savage driver solved the problem. After installing it, I disabled Xorg running at runlevel 2 by renaming the symlink to gdm in /etc/rc2.d and restarting the system (with the reset button this time), then booting and determining that 'reboot' works properly from the shell, with Xorg and the vesa driver disabled. I changed 'vesa' to 'savage' in xorg.conf, and tried startx from my user account, and determined that shutdown worked fine. Then I renamed the symlink back again, and rebooted again. After that, I can logout, switch to a console and back, reboot, etc properly. It turns out that the vesa driver with FreeBSD 7.1 (running Xorg and Gnome also) has the same problem, running on the same computer. I haven't tried a savage driver on that OS yet. -- When using vesa driver system with S3 Inc.
