My Toshiba 4360 does something similar (Savage IX video chip, patched
XF336 server)...  When mine comes back out of restore, everything appears
to be dead (visually), but it's still considering reality - the serial
port login is still going w/o problem - enough to do a shutdown.  Same
thing happens when switching killing X or switching to a text VC.

(BTW, ctrl-alt-del does work from the keyboard, but the video never
re-inits when it reboots.)

23rd-century debugging tactics and advanced analysis by a team of NSA
mathematicians has suggested that the video chip is getting screwed...  :)

I'd try getting a serial login going and see what happens.
