Put the section back in, restart [xkg]dm, log in and let it crash. Then
switch to a terminal (press CTRL + ALT + F1), log in and run the
following command:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Post the output here; we need to see the error messages and warnings in
the Xorg log to figure out what is going on.
You can append "> file.txt" (without the quotes) to the above command to
redirect the output into a file, if that makes it easier for you to read
this data into your email program.
Also tell us which branch of Debian you are using (Etch, Lenny, or Sid)
and how you installed the nvidia driver (Debian packages or nvidia
installer script).
