Angry Xorg problems

ANOTHER UPDATE
I removed the nvidia-glx package and the Caught signal 11. Server aborting seems to have stopped and KDE does boot up now.


--------------------------------------
UPDATE
I have another nvidia driver installed and when the computer boots it shows the nvidia logo and crashes and loops back to the logo again and crashes and does that a few times then i get a xserver error:

Backtrace:

--------------------------------------
Hey I recently got a Sony Vaio FZ laptop and I am having trouble getting Debian working with it...

Laptops Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz)
3 GB DDR-SDRAM (DDR2-667, 1 GBx3)
120GB SATA Hard Disk Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT

So this is what I did downloaded the netinstall Index of /debian-cd/4.0_r2/amd64/iso-cd from the debian.org site and installed it all and when i booted i got a xserver error:

(EE) No devices found
No screens detected

So I followed this NvidiaGraphicsDrivers - Debian Wiki... so far i have installed:

linux-headers-2.6.18-5-amd64
module-assistant
gcc
nvidia-kernel-common
nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-5-amd64
nvidia-glx

I have configured my xorg.conf using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg here is the current one:

Quote:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
