Which Intel card is it? How is the driver configured? Are there any
warnings or errors in xorg's log? Run the following commands and post
the output:
lspci | egrep -i 'vga|graphic|display|video'
awk '/Section "(Device|Monitor)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
X -version

I think the next thing to try is if X blocks the shutdown or if
something else in runlevel 2 is responsible. Shut down X and/or stop the
graphical login manager with
invoke-rc.d gdm stop
and check if you can shut down the system then. (Replace "gdm" with
"kdm" or "xdm" if necessary.)
