Noticed this, out of curiosity decided to try it. OK. Then forgot second X display was installed and next time the machine was started did not enter ALT-F10. Then on:=20 $ shutdown -h now the machine hung with some complaint from fetchmail which I have running as a daemon. Only response was from the=20 power switch. On rebooting and waiting for fsck the sam sequence of events recurred. Disabled second X display and problem disappeared. Coincidence? Seems unlikely! Had nothing to do with fetchmail? Possible.
