Yes, no response to ping.

..are these 2 boxes on wicd etc style networking that dies
with X and the desktop?


Nothing like that is running.


or shuts down completely (Nouveau),

..it powers off???

The computer is still running but the screen is dead. Whereas, with the
Radeon machine, the screen is still lit with the WM background showing.

If I kill it from a tty terminal there is no problem.

..and what happens if you try to kill X over ssh from the other box?

That works too. It's closing from within X itself that locks things up.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
