Hi,
Firstly, ensure that you have installed the correct nVidia driver for your card, then:
open a terminal and, as 'root' type:
X -configure :1
This will put a test xorg.conf in the /root/ directory. You can follow the instructions
given to you, on screen, to test it. If it's OK, simply issue the command - again, as root:
mv /root/xorg.* /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This will move and rename the file.
Then type:
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
This will set up your nvidia card.
Hope this helps...

[EDIT]
... I see you have an Nvidia card, so I've edited the above to cater for it.

The nvidia page linked from the beginners guide tells to disable dri. I don't know about dri2 though.
The other thing that crossed my mind is that if the 'halt' symptoms is that X starts but the computer stops responding to input it may have to do with Xorg input hotplugging/hal not doing it's thing.
Try this:
# X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf & sleep 10 && killall X
If it returns you to the console after about 10 seconds, I think it is likely an input hotplugging problem, and you might be interested in those parts of the beginners guide/wiki.

I need a sorted list of all random numbers, so that I can retrieve a suitable one later with a binary search instead of having to iterate through the generation process every time.
