First of all this problems seem to be fixed in 2.4.15-pre5 with Nicholas
Aspert i8xx AGP patch. (one or another or both are responsable - didn't
test :) )
This is a work-around of course. Try CTRL+ALT+F7 (vt07 is the default XT
vt).
BTW. what do you mean by "Waiting for X server to shutdown" ? Does this
appear when you reboot or when you switch consoles ?
