Which Intel card is it? How is the driver configured? Are there any warnings or errors in xorg's log? Run the following commands and post the output: lspci | egrep -i 'vga|graphic|display|video' awk '/Section "(Device|Monitor)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log X -version > > Also, are there any interesting entries in /var/log/syslog around the > > time of the crashes/freezes? > I don't think so. I think the next thing to try is if X blocks the shutdown or if something else in runlevel 2 is responsible. Shut down X and/or stop the graphical login manager with invoke-rc.d gdm stop and check if you can shut down the system then.
