Description of problem: While using intel experimental driver, when exiting X (rebooting, power off, ctrl+alt+backspace, killing X, or even ctrl + alt + F1), Fedora most often hangs. A hard shutdown is needed by pressing the power button. Graphic card: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) Is it possible to get the older driver versions by any chance? Googling I was able to find a bunch of similar problem descriptions, but they dated back to August 2007, whereas my problem started in Feb 2008. Not sure if they are relevant to this case. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.1-7.fc8. The development package causes similar problems. How reproducible: exiting X. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Either poweroff 2. Or killing X 3. Or ctrl + alt + f1 Actual results: System hangs. Expected results: To exit X gracefully. Additional info: The problem is not present when using the i810 driver. That driver, however, is very inconvenient to use especially when working with external monitor.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

I have attached the three files that you requested - I hope they can be of any help. Let me know in case you need more info. Thanks for the help.
You can get a lot of older versions of the driver at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=117
In case this could be of any help to you or other haunted souls, the bad news are that all the versions starting with 2.1.0 seem to be buggy (up to and including the development version 2.2.1.4). The good new are that version 2.0.0.4 does solve the issue. So the problem probably starts with 2.1.0.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
