The kernel upgrade was a plague on my workstations too, FWIW.
The kernel update is not the problem. The problem is not having an open source driver for a modern OpenGL capable card. nvidia binary-only driver is the least of all evils. Because once installed, at least works quite well. Unlike ATI, which is scary, and keeps appearing in horror stories. There is a company that's planning to make an open-source friendly card with decent OpenGL capabilities. Not the highest specs for latest games, but good enough for most of them and certainly good for other OpenGL needs. Like the next X.org with KDE4, plasma etc. And is supposed to work out of the box in Linux (as any hardware should, without driver hunt and configuration sufferance) I wish them best of luck. I would certainly want one of those cards on my desktop PC at work. http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics
