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.

I'll submit that as a bug against the vesa driver. (Actually I didn't
try the savage driver that comes with 8.04 LTS - I understand the
fixes didn't get into a release before Jaunty).
