Have the same exact symptoms except on a Karmic x86_64 OS. The problem started a few days ago at the same time the 2.6.31-15 generic kernel upgrade came up which also included Nvidia driver upgrades. I'm not sure but I think there was a nvidia-glx-185 kernel of earlier version and if so, it worked. I have a Karmic Ubuntu install running kubuntu-desktop and up until now my nvidia GeForce 9400GT 512 MB DDR2 card and LG 22" Flatron Wide monitor has worked perfectly with the proprietary drivers. When the X issue first came up it initially was a low resolution issue and mostly, not 100% of time, I would just go to console and start to log in when the kdm login screen would suddenly popup. I could log in and everything was fine. Then, I purged and reinstalled all nvidia apps which sometimes caused kdm to start, but later didn't. This progressed purging and reinstalling the 2.6.31-15 generic kernel and all nvidia apps that were installed by default. On occasion, this process would allow kdm to run and was able to log in without issues. Kde ran fine. But it wont stay fixed and the last few times I did this the original message stated above comes up. I suspect Hal and KDMS, whatever they are, are also envolved as they show up in the logs, but I haven't a clue how to trouble shoot except to reinstall Hal which didn't help. I urge you not to let this bug expire as it will force me to revert to Jaunty or an earlier nvidia driver. It's disconcerting to have this issue come up now that I have Karmic up-to-date and never had an nvidia driver issue before. Please fix it. Here are my logs that you asked the OP for above:
