>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.
