The screen, mouse and keyboard is frozen solid. You still have ssh access to the box, but no local console ability at all. If you ssh into the box and manually "kill kdmPID", then shutdown proceeds normally. If you don't have ssh access/ability, then a hard restart is required. This is on a Toshiba 205D with a Radeon RS690M (x1200) adapter and radeonhd driver. I'll test the kdmrc change next time arch is loaded. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
