Try shutting down while at a text screen instead of a graphics screen?
A few models I've seen are timing sensitive on the return. If this is
the problem you can patch a hack into the apm scripts to chvt to a known
text console and sleep during the recovery before putting you back.
If that doesn't work, use a kernel with framebuffer support active. That
worked for me on a Savage MX/IX chipset. Seems that the X server was not
quite bright enough to set things right, but the framebuffer consoles would.
(This also solved a similar problem with switching between text and gui
consoles.)
