remember seeing from you that you definitely had an ATI or a Intel i810,
but here you go.  Was a Mepis and a Debian problem with an official ATI
driver.

5. ATI card may not be allowing users to power off their machines or
switch users properly. This seems to only be a problem after installing
the official ATI driver. This has not been found to be a problem with
the free xorg driver. We have included a new version of te driver in
this release and we dont know what is causing the issue. It could be
anything from the new driver having a bug or how MEPIS has compiled the
kernel module and included everything.

*UPDATE* The version of the ATI fglrx driver that we were using had this
symptom as a known issue. After finding this we found that Norbert
Tretkowski of Debian has patched the ATI driver to fix this problem. We
have tested this in house and it appears to have successfully fixed the
problem. Thanks to Norbert for getting this to work.
