Same thing here, karmic with 185.18.36 and I thought it was an issue
with alpha kernels- obviously not:

glxinfo 
name of display: :0.0
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting 
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)


sudo glxinfo 
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

No Nvidia direct rendering unless root user
