I followed the instructions to install the nvidia drivers the Debian

Every command worked fine, with no error messages. However, when it
came time to reboot, I get a black screen shortly after the message
that says gdm is starting. After that, the system stops responding to
any form of input (no tty's either) and the only way I can do anything
is to force shutdown by holding down the powerbutton.

xorg.conf.
Some possibly relevant system information:
This is a very fresh install of Debian etch 4.0 r2 (stable). The only
things that have been added since the system was installed are xfce4
along with a bunch of plugins, vim-full, and bash-doc.
Graphics card is Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M, which is listed on the
official Nvidia site as supported.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Jimmy,
I have not yet looked over your files, but try to boot into single user
mode (grub screen, normaly the 2nd line) and as root, type "startx" and
see if it starts. This will rule in or out gdm.
