I too have this problem, I receive the following error in Xorg.0.log file:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): SLI lock timeout exceeded (type 1)

I am running kernel 2.6.31-15 on Karmic 
using kdm
using KDE 4.3.2
using nvidia driver 185.18.36
2xNvidia 9800 GTX cards in SLI configuration

rebooting sometimes fixes it.Seems to have started after the latest
updates ( ~approx Nov 24/2009 ??). Worked perfectly before upgrades as
well!

switched to gdm and several reboots, seems to work fine afterwards.
Switched back to kdm to see what would happen and it worked
intermittently after several reboots but overall still exhibits problem.
Seems like a kdm timing problem??

Switching back to gdm seems to have stabilized it for now.
