Are you using ATI's proprietary drivers? I have also experienced this
sort of system hang when using their drivers. When I would exit the X
server, I would get a screen full of vertical lines and the system would
be completely dead (could not ping).
The short-term solutions are either to use the XFree's native drivers or
to use vesafb for the console. The long term solution is for ATI to fix
their drivers.
