When I use the KDE4 menu to exit, the system seems to halt, but the mobo is still powered up. Upon reboot reiserfs fixes itself (hard reset). If I use "shutdown -h now" all is fine. Otherwise the system is fine. I just assumed it was a kde4 problem, but, I have not drilled down further to locate the exact problem source. Between needing to reduce or eliminate xorg.conf and evdev, hal , kde4 and new kernels, I've definitely missed the boat..... as I manage dozens of gentoo boxes..... Anyway, I'll track it down eventually. Here's my info, in case it is similar to yours and hopefully helps you find the problem: kernel: 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6(20:59:56 05/25/09)((hal input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics nptl sdl video_cards_radeon xorg and from make.conf: VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse joystick evdev" I did switch the system from the radeon driver to x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.5.9.3 I noticed my "radeon" entry in my xorg-server flags..(problem)...? I'm not sure my problem is related to your, I hope posting here helps you solve your problem. Once yours is solved, it might give me feedback as to where to begin my search... HTH, James
