this might be actually the same as bug #16458 - the shutdown is clean if no xkb data could be loaded.

this may indicate a crash while shutting down devices (if the bug is input
releated)

do you have a log with a backtrace?

I _think_ i hit something like this, but only after

    Don't need extra reference count adding when creating user mode.

in xserver master.

Symptoms - after ctral-alt-backspace salute screen go black (monitor still thinks it get signal - green light is on), but i can reboot/poweroff machine properly. Switching to another vt and kill X manually give me usable console.

and i will attach typical x log without NoTrapSignals option ...

Playing with AIGLX off and DRI 0 (for radeon) give me too confusing results, probably others (unmasked now) bugs.

Created attachment 18682 [details]
typical crash log.

very similar backtrace was from radeon driver. Vesa and radeon with DRI off has different backtraces.

All this on x86, slackware-current, gcc-4.3.1 for X, gcc 4.2.3 (default) for kernel and other bits.
