  System freezes when clicking shutdown button

Bug description:
  This bug report started as a comment in the thread associated with bug
  38915 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/38915), but as suggested
  by Sitsofe Wheeler I'm opening a new bug report here.

  Problem: 7 out of 10 times my PC freezes when I logout from my Ubuntu
  session. I get a black screen and my LCD says that there is no video
  input. Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard salutes don't work,
  and remote ssh sessions into my machine die; the only way out is a
  hard reset of my PC. As far as I can say nothing is logged in either
  the syslog or the X log files.

  Environment:
    * Ubuntu 8.04 running on an ASUS P5E-VM mother board with the Intel G35 (3500) chipset and 2 GB of RAM.
    * My home directory is not local but NFS-mounted from another machine running Ubuntu server 8.04.
    * My xorg.conf file is the barebones one created by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"; it
       has no mention of a specific driver or monitor details; I guess these days everything X-related is found
       dynamically as X takes over.
    * My PC was upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy. While on Gutsy, my video chipset was not well supported, I
       couldn't enable desktop effects for example, but I never experienced these freezes.

  Things that I have done include:

  1. Booted Hardy with the Feisty kernel. No changes.
  2. Created a brand new user with a local home directory (not NFS-mounted) and tried login in and out. No changes.
  3. Tried turning off desktop effects. No changes
  4. Modified my xorg.conf file to force X to use the VESA driver ... success, no more freezes after logout.

  Of course with this last option I get a sub-optimal desktop but this
  makes me conclude that the problem is X-related. My first call would
  be to blame the new Intel driver in xorg.
