Hi Marcus, I can't speak for Larry, but I can relate my experiences on several systems with Nvidia graphics: the graphics system just didn't work reliably. I tried KDE 3.5, 4.1 and even Gnome once by mistake. This was using the Nvidia driver from their web site. I would get flashes of random images during login and once with 4.1 all the "thingies" moved to the top of the screen and grew in size, after which they could not be exorcised. There were other oddities as well. I set desktop/laptop systems up for other people and I could not in good conscience subject innocent users to this. KDE 4.x may be great, but basic screen painting has to work first. I even purchased a new PNY board hoping it would fix things. It could be that I could have fiddled with things, maybe trying 4.2, to get it working, but I don't have enough time for that kind of fun right now. Note that I've installed several 11.1 systems on servers where I don't need a graphics head. No problem here.
