I had that problem when upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy. The problem is with the most recent Nvidia driver, it hangs my computer. My Toshiba only works until the 1.0.8776 version.
I´ve attached my xorg.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/options files to help you. Some wrong NVidia options in the /etc/modprobe.d/options file can really hang your computer. Note that I´m using xgl for compiz/beryl so maybe there´s some parameters in the xorg.conf file that you may not need or they may help if you want to play with beryl! Good luck!
