[newbie] problen in shuting down mandrake 10 power pack +

[shalgan bohan]

I Have bought MANDRAKE 10 POWERPACK PLUS
The problem is that every thing woks well on booting
but if i wanted to stop the system or restar the computer or even log out; 
the screen goes black while the system remains working but without any 
reaction with me.
I removed the OS and installed he normal POWER PACK (not powerpack plus), 
from the enclosed dvd disk with the package.
the problem is almost solved by this except on restarting or shutting down, 
the screen
goes white with black dots (as same as the television screen does when it is 
not recieving well) and remains as this for an interval of time as same as 
needed to end processes.

Actually, I want the powerpackPLUS as I have paid for it and it contains 
wonderful  amazing programs
I wish I have been clear in explaining my problem

I am no expert but here are some things to try.
 - Look in your /var/log/message to see if there are any errors.
 - Try booting into text mode only (no X) and see if a shutdown
   for here works fine.  If so, it may be a problem with your X
   configuration.

Good Luck...David
