For a few days now i've been having problems with messy shutdowns on my
Cooker machines. Well...problems is the wrong word, since they still
actually shut down perfectly well, but the thing is that the X server
seems to get restarted continually, and the screen keeps displaying
this. The first virtual console doesn't seem to start displaying
shutdown messages as early as it ought to, either, I frequently get only
the last few lines when the focus finally goes to that console instead
of being on a continually-restarting X server. The upshot of this is
that when I shutdown I see the nvidia splash screen three or four times
over instead of a nice clean shutdown log, which is what i'm looking for
in an ideal world =). As I said, the actual shutdown appears to be
working fine, so it's not vital, just odd. I *think* it's recent XFree
upgrades that have broken it - -22mdk certainly and I think maybe -21mdk
also. Anyone else getting this?
