Yes, but not excessively so. Once I exit X the only thing I am able to
do is reboot by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL. Nothing else appears to work.
However, I tend to stay in X all the time on this machine and only exit
if there is a problem. So, diagnosing problems is a real PITA at the
moment. :-)

Is there a way of logging the shutdown sequence of X to a file? So far
the only error/diagnostic message I get is:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
I really feel like I am not helping much while using up all your
valuable time.
Cheers,
Nick.
