I don't have a terminal connected at the moment, but it appears that
only the console is disrupted. On exiting X, I am returned to the screen
with the various parameters for X displayed, but there is no prompt and
keyboard characters are displayed on the screen. If I do a "shutdown -r"
from an xterm, the system does, in fact shut down and reboot, though it
seems to take a little longer than a shutdown from text mode.
