I had the same symptoms as Ned Patterson. The problem ceased after
removing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, creating a new one (by executing
nvidia-xconfig) and installing 185 kernel module (aptitude install
nvidia-185-kernel-source).

I think karmic should do something automatically (or at least switch to
nonrestricted drivers in problematic case), because doing it manually is
too complicated for a beginning user -- he would rather give up and
switch to windows... :(
