Hi All I have tried a differnt keyboard (an USB and a different ps2) and makes no difference to the problem, so I guess it is a graphics driver issue.
I have followed advice from all the very helpful people who have responded. I tried apci=off and reboot=bios and they make no difference. If I turn off gdm and just boot into a text tty, Crtl-Alt-Fn works fine, and the system shuts down and reboots nicely. SO it _must_ be something to do with the graphics/X. So I guess they don't 'pass through' the key sequences, but must reinterpret them at some level? If it is a 'graphics driver' problem, how do I tackle that? Is there a more appropriate forum? SHoudl I be going to X.org? THanks AGain Darren -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
