One of my colleagues told that despite of "verbose" he had this problem at
least one time (after logout, black screen with mouse pointer, forever) -
and yesterday, I had it again, too.

Seems like there is more than "splash=verbose" :-( Can there be any more
reasons? (At least, X can now be restarted with 'init 3; init 5' and not a
reboot).

Do you have any remote shares mounted? I thought that I was getting the
problem again, but I found that there is a long (20-30 seconds?) delay on a
black screen, then shutdown continues. I'm not certain, but I believe this
relates to the shares I mount in fstab. I suspect that shutdown is waiting
for something to either shut down or signal that it's no longer busy.

Of course your case might be something completely different :-)

FWIW, I encountered that same black blank screen when I logged out last
night. (I boot to a text login, login, then use startx to bring up KDE.)
I have "splash=verbose" set - it does make a difference, but isn't a
complete cure. I do mount some network shares, but not in fstab - I
mount them via SMB4K, and always manually unmount them before I shutdown.

I think it's related to video drivers, but that could be because I
always see error messages from X (trying to use some feature of an Intel
chipset that doesn't exist on this laptop) after I close the session and
return to the command line.
