Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I have an HP tx2500z laptop, which has a Radeon HD 3200 card, and I am
using the free driver. By default, the kernel (2.6.32-21-generic) seems
to have KMS enabled, and as a result when I shutdown the machine (via
halt or shutdown -hP or otherwise) it never powers off, just continues
to show the Plymouth shutdown splash, though all HDD activity has
ceased. When I add "radeon.modeset=0" to my grub command line, disabling
KMS, I am able to shutdown just fine.

I tried adding "modprobe -r radeon" to /etc/init.d/halt but when
shutting down it prints a message that the module radeon is still in
use, so it seems that when KMS is enabled it can't remove the module and
hence is unable to poweroff.

The problem still exists if I rename my xorg.conf. I also tried using
newer kernels from the ubuntu kernel PPA (such as
2.6.33-02063302-generic and 2.6.34-020634rc5-generic) but the problem
persisted. The problem exists even for a fresh installation.

Obviously disabling KMS is a workable fix, but I would prefer to have it
enabled if not for this.
