This is on my brother's laptop, and his xorg.conf is loosely based on mine. The issue is when I kill X in twm by closing all windows or zap it, it doesn't drop to tty like it should. So instead, I have to do a hard reboot. I've never encountered this issue before. Here is his xorg.conf:

I have the same issue. I'm using an ATI 5450 (same driver) and when I exit X windows, my monitor goes to sleep and the keyboard is unresponsive. I have a home network and I can ssh in and reboot. My work around is to just reboot from X. Either shutdown -r now in an xterm or with one of the gui power buttons.
I would assume that this is a well known issue and I haven't done enough googling to fix it because it's not annoying enough yet. I just reboot while in X.

Get rid of these two lines in ServerLayout:
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Get rid of all this obsolete stuff (you should let evdev handle input, etc.)

And use this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
You can also uninstall the mouse/keyboard drivers, evdev will handle it all.
Full file with the changes (and some depth stuff cut out):

Also, you can just switch ttys with ctrl-alt-F#.
This typo was (probably) the problem, but might as well use a modern config .
"termiante:ctrl_alt_bksp"

The typo was typing in links instead of copy+paste. It's not an issue with evdev and having "obsolete" things in my config. It happens when there is no xorg.conf as well. I suppose I'll just have him use a GUI of some sort to reboot and stuff then.
The only reason I have all the mouse/keyboard stuff in there is because evdev didn't work well when X.org just started using it. I've never taken it out, and since it's based on mine, I left it in there for him.

Hmm, I also use same driver and have a hd5450, and i cannot reboot, shutdown or ctrl-alt-backspace from x, as it then just hangs, so i'll either have to go to VT1, press ctrl-c and then reboot/halt, or instead enter another VT, login and then reboot/halt...

Do you get the same problem with the vesa driver?
Offline
I don't think so. I don't remember trying out the vesa drivers before moving on to radeon. Will also check out fglrx drivers.
---edit---
works fine with vesa driver... Guess it's a radeon thing. Having issues getting fglrx to work.
