That will allow you to shutdown without a root login. Entering Fn+F1 and "shutdown -r now" has no chance of working as X is still running on vty0, so you have no shell to receive the command. You can try entering a CTRL-C to kill X or logout of the X session instead of Fn+F1? Maybe Fn+F2 and log in or log into that vty before starting X. -- R.
