I boot into Mandrake with the Frame Buffer option so I have a nice, huge console screen available. Is there some way to break out of the Frame Buffer to the VGA text screen as one of the last steps of a shutdown? It appears that my video adapter, an STB Velocity 128 AGP OEM (or maybe it's my Micronics motherboard) hangs the system from completely powering off while it's in a graphics mode. Thus, if I shut down linux w/o the frame buffer, the computer shuts off. If I have the frame buffer (or I'm using Win2K) a shutdown -h will spin down the drives but won't power off the motherboard. Anybody else ever see something like this? -- j
