Problem to shutdown

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem when I try to do 3 things in kde: shutdown, restart and close section; and when I try to change terminal session with ctrl+alt+F6 and come back with ctrl+alt+F7. When I do these things, my screen becomes black and I can't do anything, neither kill X with ctrl+alt+backspace. When it happen I have no choice, I just can push power button.
Why is it happening??

I've had this problem on a couple of machines recently. YMMV, but it disappears for me when I make a custom xorg.conf file with xorgsetup. The file seems to work well until it is time to close down the X server.
Regards,
Bill

1. To kill X, you can hold Ctrl and press BackSpace key.
2. To shutdown, you only can input /sbin/halt with a super account. If not you will have to use chmod +s /sbin/halt with super account, after that you can shutdown you computer use /sbin/halt.
3. To restart, you can try reboot(or reboot -t 0) with a super account.
To avoid using the super accound(i meant use su root), you can use sudo plus what command you want to run.
I am also a newbie for slackware. I just tells you how i do these task.
Have fun!

TSquaredF probably on right track. That being issue could be graphic card related.

I have 780g integrated and sometimes have locks with open source ATI drivers, particularly if not rebooting after removing fglrx and starting X. I have long delays using fglrx when exiting X. Problem is worse using HDMI port as it seems system is waiting for something to happen. I have rbg cable also hooked up and sometimes can switch from that to hdmi with tv remote and this causes hdmi to also get in sync. I don't know why.

What is your hardware?

:p I have a ATI card using fglrx too. The tv output is setted in xorg using --force-monitor=tv by aticonfig comand. I'll setup the xorg with xorgconfig and see what happen!

I've setup xorg with xorgconfig but the problem is still here! At this time I've got some output:

I don't understand why he called xprop, and don't know why he called it in the wrong way!!
