OK. Blacklisting the nouveau kernel driver is already taken care of by nvidia-kernel-common, including rebuilding the initrd.

Could you reinstall it and if the problem reappears, send the following: * your xorg.conf (and/or xorg.conf.d/ snippets) * /var/log/Xorg.0.log without xserver-xorg-video-nouveau being installed * /var/log/Xorg.0.log after hanging Removing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau afterwards should fix it again.
