You probably want to kill X off just before the final power down. A few boxes get a bit confuddled if the BIOS video mode isn't reset (I've got one here which objects if you do a hard reboot from inside an X window) - its fine after a real reset or if you got text mode first > But that's just a guess.

Hard bit seems to me being sure the old X server is dead dead dead before the new one begins. Other problem is that X takes longer to start on some boxes than poweroff to finish.... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
