X on laptop going nuts

[sime <sime@anticd.org>]

See the following link to paint the picture. This would only happen when 
logging out of X to shutdown. The machine is then unresponsive and the 
only was to shut it down is to kill the power.

Further at times booting on battery power, X would not start and the 
system again is unresponsive, but the screen would only be blank.

Finally, this was not occuring when I first purchased the laptop. 
Personally I believe it to be an XF86Config-4 issue.

Software: Debian Sarge, Linux 2.6.8, nVidia binary drivers.
