When I either try to log off KDE or do a complete shutdown or restart, my system always hangs just as it's leaving KDE. I get a black screen with my cursor on it and then everything freezes. I can't control-alt-backspace, my cursor doesn't move, my keyboard doesn't work...nothing. The only way to get out is to hit the reset button. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I'm running 9.1 Pro with KDE 3.2.91. BTW, my second system, which is running the same thing, has no problem.
Thanks! I would suggest that you go to another terminal by depressing the following keys: Ctrl and Alt. Now whilst you have have them depressed

Now enter 'shutdown -r now' to restart the machine. I assume X starts automatically allowing you login as the NON-root user. Again once you have logged in, logout immediately and choose the option in the KDE 'Shutdown' menu to halt the system. OK the message and see if the system shuts down correctly. As a final test switch on the machine and login as NON-root user. Again immediately log off and elect to shut the box down. This should happen without error as any bad shutdown methods would have been cleared when you previously shut the machine down.
